Domenico Scarlatti

Domenico Scarlatti wrote 555 single-movement keyboard sonatas, mostly in binary form, that combine Iberian guitar idioms, daring harmonic shifts, and a feisty Italian wit. They are the most original keyboard music of the late Baroque outside of Bach.

The Kirkpatrick-numbered sonatas are studied and recorded constantly; many of the best-known have become recital staples.
