Reading:
Marshall: pp. 154-190.
Listening:
Domenico Scarlatti:
Sonatas: K. 1, 3, 29, 30, 115-116, 175, 394-395, 497-498, 499-500,
550-551.
The Kirkpatrick facsimile edition (M22. S28 K6) is in the reference
section of the library. Each volume of this set has a duplicate preface
with
information on the nature of the sources and the nature of the edition,
as well as a catalog comparing the different numbering systems for
Scarlatti's
Sonatas.
Look these over.
I have also put on reserve a recording of the complete set of sonatas
on harpsichord (CD 1959). These are in Kirkpatrick (K.) order so
you should be able
to figure out which volume has which Sonata.
In addition, three volumes of the Longo edition (M22. S28, v. 4, v. 9,
v. 10) (for many
years the only one available) are on reserve. Please compare K.
499
and 500 in both
versions. K 499 is Longo 193, K 500 is Longo 492.
Also, compare K 175 (Longo 429) in each edition.
What other editions of these works can you name? What are the
characteristics
of some of the different editions? (Hint: use Hinson as your resource!)
What are the "Essercizi"?
