Italian
composer, Domenico
Scarlatti (1685-1757) is
well-known for his
Keyboard compositions.
His 555 Keyboard Sonatas
remain ever popular to
this day, and Jean-Pascal
Post's arrangement for
the Clarinet of ten of
these loved works are
indispensable for
aspiring clarinetists.
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 Portuguese royal
families. Post's
transcription of ten
Sonatas for Clarinet
include Sonata K. 9.
Post's arrangements for
Clarinet enhance the
lyricism and melodic
invention of the Sonatas
as well as enabling the
student to study
ornamentation and
articulation. Bearing in
mind that Domenico
Scarlatti was a highly
competent and popular
musician 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, and Post's
arrangement of these for
Clarinet create an
essential addition to the
repertoire of all
clarinetists..
