Domenico Scarlatti
Harpsichordist and most important composer of harpsichord sonatas in the first half of the eighteenth century. He left behind over 550 compositions for harpsichord; operas; chamber cantatas; liturgical music, and twelve sinfonias.
1685 | Born in Naples on October 26, the son of Alessandro Scarlatti. |
1703/04 | Commissioned to write three operas for the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples. |
1705 | Living in Venice. |
from 1709 | Music director in Rome; performances of seven operas for Queen Marie Casimire, including “Tetide in Sciro” (1712), “Ifigenia in Aulide” and “Ifigenia in Tauri” (1713), “Amor d’un ombra e gelosia d’un’aura” (“The Love of a Shade and the Jealousy of an Aura,” 1714; in London as “Narciso” in 1720). Composes chamber cantatas and liturgical music. |
1714 | Music director of the Cappella Giulia at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. During this time, he writes his Stabat Mater. Further opera premieres at the Teatro Capranica. |
1719 | Director of the royal musical chapel under João V. Composition of serenades and harpsichord pieces for Maria Barbara, the later queen of Spain. |
from 1728 | Employment at the Spanish court for the musical entertainment of Ferdinando and Maria Barbara. Instead of operas he now primarily composes harpsichord pieces that frequently adopt features of Iberian folk music (fandangos, seguidillas, polos, boleros); he thereby creates an innovative musical style that does not comply with the rules of strict counterpoint. |
1738/39 | Publication of 30 “Essercizi per gravicembalo” (“Exercises for Harpsichord”), which make Scarlatti known throughout Europe. |
1752–57 | He orders the preparation of several volumes of his collected sonatas. |
1754 | Probably composes his “Missa quatuor vocum” in the stilo antico. |
1757 | Composition of the “Salve Regina.” Death in Madrid on July 23. |
The printing is crystal clear and although marked as "piano sonatas" they are thankfully devoid of any dynamic or other editorial markings that often mar the composer's original intention. (...) Those wishing to explore the delights of Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas would do well to purchase at a modest price, these "taster" volumes from Henle.
