Piano Sonata in d minor K.9 L.413-?Bach?s Preludes are on holiday at the Mediterranean? the wonderful alliance of polyphonic fluency and musical delight in Domenico Scarlatti?s piano sonatas could be described thus. Originally composed for harpsichord thesepieces exhaust the technical and tonal possibilities of keyboard instruments in such a refined manner that pianists have never been able to resist playing them on modern pianos whether grand or upright. We have chosen one of themost popular sonatas with a moderate level of difficulty (level 4/5) from our extensive three-volume Urtext edition (HN 395 451 476). This single edition is an asset for teaching and provide an ideal introduction to Scarlatti?sfascinating musical language.

Easier Piano Pieces 66-From Domenico Scarlatti's vast output of 555 harpsichord sonatas a number have been edited and published by the Associated Board. Thirty-two of the easier sonatas have been edited by Howard Ferguson and published in three volumes within the Easier Piano Pieces series and these have been edited for performance on the piano and include dynamics and marks of articulation. Fergusonâ??s selection of sonatas seems to have been made on the basis of musical effectiveness and originality and there are wonderful pieces in each book. Piano Quarterly
