Par SCARLATTI / GILBERT. Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this eleventh and final volume is indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti 's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portugueseroyal families. The eleventh volume, comprising Sonatas 507-55, includes the popular and recognisable Sonata in E major (K. 531). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre./ Répertoire / Clavier

Les deux premières sonates de la période de Salzbourg qui sont particulièrement adaptés pour l'enseignement de la musique dans les écoles secondaires, sont opposés à trois compositions efficaces de sa période viennoise. Le présent volume contient aussi la sonate KV 19d dont l'authenticité n'est pas confirmée, ainsi que deux mouvements fragmentaires en date de ses dernières années de la vie de Mozart, KV 357. Robert D. Levin a terminé les fidèles à un style pour une utilisation pratique, en prenant les limites des claviers des pianos de Mozart et le style du compositeur en compte, à la différence que dans la première édition de ca. 1860.
