Scarlatti

I Wonder why this site does not have any Scarlatti piano sonatas available.  His sonatas are very good pieces...I would surely like to have some through this site.

Good question!
The answer is:
We are still arguing about which one of the 555 to start with...  ;)

A selection of the Sonatas by Scarlatti will probably start to appear at Piano Street within the coming months.

If any, make sure to get equal numbers (or roughly) of major and minor Scarlatti sonatas.  F minor K519 and D minor K141 are two of my favorites.

I like minor pieces better, but, that's just me.  I like the ominous sound.
