Scarlatti, Domenico: Selected Piano Sonatas, Volume II
(Johnsson, Bengt)
The performance-technical moment is a formally constitutive element within his one-movement sonatas. For the first time in the history of piano music, the interpreter must cross the hands and master wide leaps. Renowned pianist Bengt Johnsson provides information on Scarlatti's life and career, as well as on the various sources on which this edition is based, in his preface. A few sonatas appear in print here for the first time. An additional ''bon-bon'' is the reprint of a preface to the edition of 30 of Scarlatti's piano sonatas published in 1738. Absorbing reading for all who ish to acquire a deeper understanding of Scarlatti's piano music.
