	Domenico Scarlatti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Domenico Scarlatti (October 26, 1685 – July 23, 1757) was an Italian composer of the Baroque era.
		(Giuseppe) Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples, Italy, the sixth of ten children and a younger brother to Pietro Filippo Scarlatti, also a musician.
		Domenico was already a harpsichord-player of eminence, and there is a story that at a trial of skill with George Frideric Handel at the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni in Rome he was adjudged perhaps superior to Handel on that instrument, although inferior on the organ.

	Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)
		Scarlatti was a familiar figure at the weekly meetings of the Accademie Poetico-Musicali hosted by the music-loving Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni at which the finest musicians in Rome met and performed chamber music.
		Scarlatti's serenata, Applause genetliaco, was performed at the Portuguese Embassy in Rome in 1714, and his opera, Contesa delle stagioni, was later performed at the Lisbon royal chapel in 1720.
		When Domenico Scarlatti died in Madrid, Spain on July 23, 1757, he left behind a large collection of manuscripts of his brilliant harpsichord sonatas that remained almost entirely unknown outside of Spain and Portugal until their partial publication was realized by Carl Czerny in 1839, followed by their virtually complete publication by Longo in 1906.

		Domenico was organist in the royal chapel where his father was maestro di capella and travelled with Alessandro to Florence and Rome before returning alone to Naples where three of his operas were produced, the last, Irene, in 1704.
		Domenico and his wife returned to Portugal from Rome in time to be taken as members of the newly-married Princess Maria Barbara's entourage to her new home in Madrid.
		Scarlatti's sonatas are all in only one movement (no means only one tempo), and individually numbered in all the sources, but both Venice and Parma manuscripts often join them together by couple (rarely by three), generally in the same tonality (not always grouped in the same way in various manuscripts).

	Domenico Scarlatti - the Sheet Music
		Scarlatti explicitly noted when he wanted the rougher sound of 'changed fingers', a two-fingered 'trill' on one note - most can not be played as written with four fingers flailing the way pianists are taught today.
		Notes that Scarlatti did make concerning hand crossings are preserved in the form he wrote them, D (dritta, right) and M (manca, left), in the first example of their occurrence in each sonata.
		Scarlatti used the baroque trill symbol and tr, for brief tremulo, apparently interchangeably as a general sign for a note to be stressed.

	The Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti
		Scarlatti's carefully crafted sounds admit of little casual variation, but much of his music is written with slight pauses in one hand or the other that permit variations in hand crossings - right over or under left, left over or under right, even intermixed.
		And, when Scarlatti's phrases are repeated with no variations of sound, as he mostly explicitly wrote them, they build structure and power upon a sustained rhythmic foundation, rather than on a phrase-oriented vocal one.
		The rarity with which Scarlatti actually notes pauses or breaks between apparently-disjoint phrases becomes justified when his work is studied overall - the silences he marks explicitly become more effective, and the phrases take their place as his development of melodic sequences, using sounds rather than just notes.

		Domenico was the sixth child (of ten) born to Alessandro Scarlatti, a highly successful composer mostly known for opera, and part of a larger clan of musicians.
		Domenico was trained early as a musician and had the benefit of living in a household that featured not only his composer father, but constant visits by singers, instrumentalists, and impresarios.
		Kirkpatrick: "The mysteries of Domenico's early life and his obvious domination by his father, both personal and musical, tempt interpretation in terms of modern psychology." Kirkpatrick resists this temptation, but goes on to note that it was not until after Alessandro's death that Domenico finally got around to marrying, at the age of 42.

		Domenico Scarlatti was one of the greatest keyboard virtuosos of all time.
		Scarlatti obviously enjoyed having the fastest fingers in Europe, and many of his works are centered upon the visual drama of his technique.
		Scarlatti's rapidly repeated notes (K.141) may be played smoothly on a harpsichord, with one finger as if they were half a trill, a technique essentially impossible on the piano.

	Domenico Scarlatti, Horowitz Plays Scarlatti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Part of this is simply technical; the sonatas were written for the harpsichord (although Scarlatti's approach was extraordinarily sophisticated), which, because it is plucked, has a much crisper, cleaner attack -- and, while articulation is not the only requirement in Scarlatti's sonatas, it is an important one.
		Horowitz also pointed out that, although Scarlatti lived much of his life in Spain and Portugal, and although one can, on close listening, discover a certain Iberian sensibility, the sonatas are still quintessentially Italian.
		That Scarlatti enjoys the popularity he does today reflects not only Horowitz' foresightedness, but his role in making the prediction of another famous pianist, Frédérick Chopin, come true: "I maintain that there will come a time when Scarlatti will often be played in concerts, and people will appreciate and enjoy him." Welcome to the future.

		The doyen of living Scarlatti scholars is by common consent Joel Sheveloff, whose doctoral thesis on the sonatas ("The Keyboard Music of Domenico Scarlatti: A Reevaluation of the Present State of Knowledge in the Light of the Sources") retains its luster, as the tributes paid to it in the reviewed study confirm.
		He explains how Scarlatti has been treated as an icon of the Latin as opposed to the Germanic and how, within the Latin camp, he has been appropriated variously for Italy and for Spain.

	The Keyboard Tuning of Domenico Scarlatti
		The tuning preferences of Domenico Scarlatti are particularly uncertain, since he was born and trained in Italy, but spent most of his career in Portugal and Spain, and did all of his significant composing while under strong Spanish influence.
		The presumption of all consonance methods is that Scarlatti would avoid passages using intervals that were markedly out-of-tune or dissonant in his tuning (such as wolf fifths) except in passing, and would tend on average to emphasize those intervals and keys which were relatively pure.
		The paper discusses a quantitative method for the study of historical keyboard instrument tunings that is based on a measure of the perceived dissonance of the intervals in a tuning and their frequency of occurrence in the compositions of Domenico Scarlatti.
