This volume contains a selection of twenty-five of Domenico Scarlatti’s over 550 sonatas, chosen not only for their diversity and aesthetic appeal, but also for their pedagogical value and accessibility to pianists from late elementary to early advanced levels of study. The works are printed in the order in which Ralph Kirkpatrick, noted as the foremost Scarlatti scholar, has catalogued them. With clear engravings edited by noted piano pedagogue Lee Ann House, this collection with its valuable commentary will be come a staple in the teaching repertoire.
