Sonata in E
major, K. 162, L. 21 Domenico Scarlatti
Domenico
Scarlatti was born in Naples in 1685.
A composer of more than 600 sonati, he is one of the chief exponents of
Baroque keyboard music. This prodigious
output of one-movement sonati was created for use as teaching pieces for the
musically gifted Maria Barbara, the Portuguese princess who later became the
queen of Spain.
... The Sonata in E
major, K. 162 is unusual because it switches back and forth between slow and
fast sections. Typically, one tempo and
one temperament would remain constant within movements during this era. Heather Schmidt
