This Anthology offers a wide selection of Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti taken from the complete critical edition edited by Emilia Fadini for Casa Ricordi since 1978. The sonatas have been chosen according to their level of difficulty (from Easy-Intermediate to Intermediate) and, in some cases, their popularity with performers. The anthology furthermore represents a vast choice of the genres and styles present in the complete corpus of Scarlatti's sonatas (Capricci, Gavottes, Menuets, Fugues). A valuable opportunity for every keyboard player to approach the work of this great composer. / Clavecin

Based onthe two sets of books discovered in Venice and in Parma, this edition still contains some of the annotations initially suggested by Kirkpatrick, whose book can be considered an essential guide for this series. / Clavecin / Heugel

Keyboard fireworksAs early as 1743, while Handel was still alive, Francesco Geminiani produced an arrangement of the 'Water Music? for keyboard instruments, thereby making it possible to perform this popular work in domestic surroundings. Then, presumably in 1749, an unknown musician arranged the 'Music for the Royal Fireworks? for transverse flute or violin and harpsichord.In addition to these two contemporary versions, this edition also contains an arrangement by the editor for harpsichord or organ, based on the first edition. Though both early sources explicitly mention a harpsichord, the arrangements can also be performed effectively note-for-note on the organ.As the surviving anonymous version merely places a solo part and a figured bass on a two-stave system, our edition is accompanied by performance material with one part each for transverse flute/oboe/violin and violoncello/double bass,plus a figured bass realisation.- Musical text with arrangements by two Handel contemporaries as well as the editor's own arrangement for harpsichord or organ- All editorial additions are clearly marked- Equally effective when performed note-for-note on the organ / Ensemble Mixte
