Scarlatti 'Toccata'

on: April 15, 2007, 12:46:18 AM

Okay, someone will have to help me out here...

I have no clue what the K. number is for this Scarlatti sonata. All I know is it has been called the 'Toccata' sonata, it's in D minor, and either in fast 3/4 or 3/8 time. I already checked Pianostreet's archives, and it isn't there, so if you know which one it is, it's okay to post it.

Also, if it helps, I think this sonata opens with a lot of repeating notes.

(EDIT: I think it's K.141)
