Product Description
Although Domenico Scarlatti never wrote music for guitar, many of his more than 500 sonatas for harpsichord, above 260, have been transcribed for guitar in the last century.
Scarlatti has become part of the "natural" repertoire for classical guitarists. The list of the guitar masters that have transcribed (and recorded) sonatas from Scarlatti has no end: Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, Narciso Yepes, Jose de Azpiazu, John Williams, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Eliot Fisk, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, John W. Duarte, Leo Brouwer, Stephan Schmidt, Fabio Zanon, Andrew Zohn, Claudio Giuliani, Roberto Aussel, Wolfgang Lendle, Alberto Mesirca, Thibault Caubin, Eduardo Fernandez, Luigi Attademo, Stephan Marchionda, Gerard Abiton and so on...
Sonata K435 is a joyful piece, really fun for the player and very impressive for the listener. It contains some typical Scarlatti's elements, like fast repeated notes and strong cadential bass lines.
