200 Sonate per clavicembalo (pianoforte) 1: Parte prima (No. 1-50), Piano

Domenico Scarlatti: 200 sonatas para clavicémbalo (o piano), vol. 1, nº 1-50.

Urtext.

Edited by: György Balla.

The sonatas are not grouped according to their degree of difficulty, they are given in the order which corresponds with the Kirkpatrick numbering. This is approximately identical with the order in which they were composed. In this way it became possible for the pairs of sonatas included in the selection to be placed closely after one another. Apart from inevitable minor alterations this edition follows the original text and its markings exactly. This does not apply to the fingering which is entirely an editorial addition. (In the original there is no fingering.)The number of Scarlatti sonatas heard on the concert platform and learned by piano students is relatively small. We can understand this if we consider that the publications including a greater amount of material have not been accessible to the public. For this reason the chief task of this selection is to widen the circle of these few and with reason popular works. At the same time it aims to give a comprehensive view of Scarlatti's sonatas, following the composer's development from the Essercizi of 1738 to the pieces written towards the end of his life.
