Domenico Scarlatti: Three Sonatas
Domenico Scarlatti: Three Sonatas
During his service in the Royal House of Madrid, Domenico Scarlatti
composed 555 Keyboard Sonatas, in single movement and binary form. The
sonatas demonstrate an ingenious artistry, in which the composer develops a
dialogic relationship between contrasting voices, through numerous
hand crossings, imitations, jumps, modulations and passages with rapid scales
and arpeggios.
The uniqueness of these sonatas reside in their rhythmic and melodic
richness, that is deeply influenced by the Portuguese and Spanish popular music
of his time, as well as Scarlatti's interest in exploring the technical and
interpretative possibilities of the harpsichord.
As mentioned above, the contrasting voices and changes in the sonority
allow a faithful transcription of the Keyboard Sonatas for a guitar duo. In this
edition we chose three of our favorite Scarlatti's sonatas. The Sonata K. 466,
originally written in F minor, has been transcribed to D minor, for register
issues, favoring the resonance of the guitar. Sonatas K. 27 and K. 491 were
transcribed in their original tonalities, B minor and D major respectively.
