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.
