Description

Eagerly awaited by countless pianists, the fourth Urtext volume presents a selection of pieces from Domenico Scarlatti's vast sonata output. Unlike the previous three collections (HN 395, 451, and 476), which featured an equal mix of frequently played and lesser-known works, Volume IV is a compilation of "the best of Scarlatti." Despite the legendary fair copies from Venice and Parma that serve as the sources, Scarlatti's musical transmission remains complicated, with a rich array of variants - a circumstance we've accounted for with a detailed footnote apparatus. Even these oft-performed sonatas hold many surprising discoveries. Scarlatti Volume IV is a true treasure chest of Baroque keyboard gems.
