Written by Dreamworldtech on Thursday 21 February 2008
A Baroque composer of high ranking, Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti spent most his life in Spain and Portugal. Being of Italian lineage Scarlatti was born on October 26, 1685. His music has played a great role in the progress of Classical style. It is possible that he achieved his early education under the supervision of his father, who was also the teacher and composer, Alessandro Scarlatti. Mosty likely he has also studied music from Francesco Gasparini, Bernardo Pasquini and Gaetano Greco. They all have inspired his musical style in one way or another.
Scarlatti’s most renowned works include 555 keyboard sonatas. They basically consist of single movements that are largly in the binary format and nearly all of them are developed for the harpsichord. Out of these sonatas, four exist for organ and a couple for which Scarlatti recommends a little instrumental group. The advancements in modern pianoforte techniques can be contributed to these sonatas. Few of them are very harmonious and have untraditional modulations for remote keys.
Scarlattis style was marked with certain characteristics. It was inspired by Spanish and Portugese folk music. The Phyrgian mode used by Scarlatti and certain tonal inflections unaccustomed to European art music are good examples of this.
