Why? Because there is never enough Scarlatti!<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Portrait<\/a><\/h3>\n

Domenico Scarlatti \u00a01685 (same year as J.S. Bach!) – 1757<\/h3>\n

Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, expressive and elegant, quintessentially baroque, transport the listener to a time of grace and beauty with the charm and freshness of\u00a0the Spanish and Portuguese countryside. One would never guess that the composer of this gorgeous music had a difficult beginning to his career.<\/p>\n

A Coming of Age Story<\/em><\/p>\n

Being\u00a0born into a family of musicians undoubtedly\u00a0can and usually does provide many benefits, but for the young and extraordinarily talented Domenico Scarlatti, a typical father-son competition ensued. \u00a0An authoritarian father with a fragile ego, Domenico’s father, opera composer Alessandro Scarlatti, placed obstacles in the way of his own son’s career. Alessandro first sent Domenico, at age fifteen,\u00a0to Naples, then to Florence, back to Naples, forcibly removed him from his positions in Naples and from Rome, and eventually sent Domenico to Venice. However, a\u00a0talent like Domenico’s cannot easily be hidden. \u00a0In Venice, Domenico participated in a keyboard competition with Georg Frederic Handel. Handel proved superior on the organ, but tied with Domenico on the harpsichord.\u00a0Handel said about Scarlatti \u00a0that “besides his great talents as an artist he had the sweetest temper, and the genteelest behavior,” and the two held each other in mutual esteem.\u00a0While in Rome,\u00a0Marquis de Fontes, Portuguese ambassador, noticed Domenico’s extraordinary talent, which later led to Scarlatti’s appointment in Lisbon as the Maestre of the Royal Chapel to Juan V. \u00a0In Lisbon, Scarlatti\u00a0taught Maria Barbara, who was to become the Queen of Spain. \u00a0Scarlatti also met Carlos Seixas<\/a>, and through him learned to combine Andalucian folk melodies into his music.<\/p>\n

Flamenco, Seguidilla, Fandango!<\/em><\/p>\n

As you listen to this music, you may find yourself tapping your toes! That’s ok! Andalucian<\/a> folk music sounds a little like flamenco. Gypsies created flamenco combining Spanish, Moorish, and Jewish melodic and harmonic elements from the folk music of the Andalucian peninsula. \u00a0Melodically, Andalucian folk music uses phrygian mode but in the Moorish version, e, f, g sharp<\/em>, a, b, often with a tension between the g and g-sharp<\/em>. Harmonically, these folk songs often switch between major and minor keys, using the same melodies in first one, then in the other mode. Scarlatti incorporated these techniques into his music\u00a0and also included dance-like passages from flamenco, bulerias, seguidilla, fandango (3\/8 time), and canarios. On the humorous side, the theme for the\u00a0Cat’s Fugue K30, was said to be\u00a0invented from a kitten’s steps on a keyboard.<\/p>\n
