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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780691216140?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780691216140 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9780691216140.jpg ER -
