Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Again available in paperback, this definitive work on the genius of Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is the result of twelve years of devoted effort by America's foremost harpsichordist and one of the principal authorities on eighteenth-century harpsichord music. Mr. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively to collect material that has tripled the known facts about Scarlatti's life, providing the first adequate biography of one of the greatest harpsichord composers of the eighteenth century and one of the most original composers of all time. The second half of his book is an illuminating study of Scarlatti's 555 sonatas, concluding with a chapter on their performance. The book contains extensive appendixes, including discussions of ornamentation and Scarlatti's vocal music, and an updated section of addenda and corrigenda.

This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet least understood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position of solitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style are often obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern. Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hindered musicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thorough reconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed to Scarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music, offering both individual readings and broader commentary of an unprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove the composer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefine his image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographical difficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musical style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editor has chosen 40 keyboard sonatas from the more than 500 written by Domenico Scarlatti. These serve as a progressive initiation into Scarlatti's keyboard artistry. The sonatas generally follow the simple structure of a single movement divided into two symmetrical refrains, as in the pre-classical dance suites. Embellishments are written in regular note values for ease of playing, and dynamic indications, which were sparse for the harpsichord, are added for the modern piano. Fingerings are included as a suggested guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Because Domenico Scarlatti left almost no personal records and because his brilliant and erratic keyboard style has never been entirely understood, he has suffered a neglect unsurpassed in the literature of music for a composer of his stature. Now after two hundred years he finds in this first full-length biography his greatest opportunity to become known. This rediscovery of Scarlatti gains special significance from the fact that it has been made by a celebrated harpsichordist to satisfy his own need for a fuller understanding of a favorite composer. 'At all times,' writes Ralph Kirkpatrick, 'my interest has been that of a performer of Scarlatti who wishes to leave no source of information or enlightenment untouched that might affect a conception of his music.' Through his discoveries, the known facts of Scarlatti's life have been more than tripled. Through his reconstruction of the background of events, persons, and places, so penetrating an insight is gained into the composer's career that the point of view seems to be Scarlatti's and the bare outlines of biography afforded by the documents are filled in as if by a contemporary hand. The second half of the book is an illuminating study of Scarlatti's 555 sonatas, most of them the astonishing harvest of the last few years of his life and his finest achievement. The last chapter on the performance of the sonata bears the authority of the writer's almost unique position as both a scholar and a world-famous performing artist."--Dust jacket.
