Scarlatti – Sonata in F major, K. 17 – Dmitri Levkovich

Domenico Scarlatti, a composer who epitomizes Italian Baroque music.

His 555 harpsichord sonatas composed over his lifetime are truly a treasure trove for keyboard instruments.

Among them, the Sonata in F major, K.

17, which is very popular with piano learners, stands out for its bright, expansive character.

Playing cleanly through the cascade of notes that leap out in a sprightly rhythm can be quite a demanding task.

However, if you can master the distinctive, ornate embellishments of Baroque music, your expressive range at the piano will expand greatly.

It certainly seems well worth the challenge!
