About Domenico Scarlatti
Domenico Scarlatti, born Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti, was an Italian composer who left an indelible mark on the Baroque and Classical music eras. Born in 1685, Scarlatti was the son of the renowned composer Alessandro Scarlatti and followed in his father's footsteps, initially composing operas, chamber cantatas, and other vocal works. However, it is his 555 keyboard sonatas that have cemented his legacy, showcasing his innovative approach to harmony, rhythm, and form. These sonatas, composed during his tenure with the Portuguese and Spanish royal families, significantly expanded the technical and musical possibilities of the keyboard.
Scarlatti's early career began in Naples, where he served as composer and organist at the royal chapel. His journey took him through various European courts, including those of Queen Christina of Sweden and the royal families of Portugal and Spain. Throughout his life, Scarlatti's compositions spanned a wide range of genres, including operas, oratorios, and sacred music, but it is his keyboard sonatas that continue to captivate audiences and musicians alike. His music, characterized by its virtuosity and inventiveness, bridges the gap between the Baroque and Classical periods, making Domenico Scarlatti a pivotal figure in the evolution of Western music.
