advanced
Keyboard sonata K 20
Domenico Scarlatti
What's this piece like?
Of Scarlatti’s 555 sonatas, about 10 are for violin and continuo, 3 are specifically for organ, and the rest are for harpsichord. Although a few of the early sonatas, such as those for violin, consist of up to four movements, the bulk are single movements, normally in two sections. They either contrast slow movements with fast ones, couple complementary fast movements, or extend the total tonal range of a pair conceived as a unit.
Who's this piece for?
Great piece for advanced pianists who want to expand their repertoire and learn more about the music of Scarlatti.
