| Added by magataganm, 23 Nov 2017 Domenico Scarlatti began his compositional career following in the footsteps of his father Alessandro Scarlatti by writing operas, chamber cantatas, and other vocal music, but he is most remembered for his 555 keyboard sonatas, written between approximately 1719 and 1757. This is one of Scarlatti's most popular keyboard sonatas and also one of his more challenging for the performer. The composer employs colorful and quite thorny octave passages throughout and otherwise infuses the work with much virtuosic writing. Sacheverell Sitwell, a Scarlatti devotee, grouped the sonatas according to compositional features. Noting its almost frenzied energy, he classed this F minor composiiton as a tarantella. Like other popular sonatas from among the 555, such as the F major (K. 525), it is short -- generally a bit under three minutes -- and features Spanish folk elements. The work opens with a lively, playful theme whose energy and colorful manner are instantly appealing. It is also quirky, especially when its rhythmic drive is periodically interrupted by a swirling figure that seems to trip so gracefully over its own feet, so to speak. Interestingly, this sonata anticipates some of Beethoven's music in the heroic, driving chords that close the exposition. Scarlatti transforms his thematic material in the latter half, giving the music a mixture of muscle and delicacy, but keeping the same busy mood and sense of lightness.
