Scarlatti Sonatas with LH Arpeggios?

on: August 31, 2010, 06:58:18 AM

Bernhard used to be keen on Scarlatti as a replacement for Hanon and Czerny. Anybody know any Scarlatti sonatas with lots of work on LH arpeggios? I don't have a complete edition of all 500+ to scan through and I wasn't able to get a hint by searching old posts here. Any suggestions for an appropriate Scarlatti sonata?

Kk.1 and especially Kk.20 I would recommend for you to try out. Kk.20 is one of my personal favourites.

You may try also Scarlatti Keyboard Sonata In D, K 29. It has interplays of ascending and descending scales for the left hand and right hands, respectively, that are simple but very beautiful
Good luck!

I'm terrible with numbers, but look at k382...I think that's the number...can't check right now.

Thanks for the recent suggestions; I asked the question about 6 years ago, though. At the moment I'm quite happy with Berens exercises for the left hand. They are fairly musical and they cover a lot, scales arpeggios, chords, voicing, multiple lines in the LH, different articulations in different fingers in the LH. Scarlatti is great, too, and I'll try the sonatas you've recommended.
