Scarlatti: 30 Essercizi per Gravicembalo (1738)

Album by Domenico Scarlatti & Joseph Payne

Essercizi per Gravicembalo is a 1738 printed collection of thirty keyboard sonatas by Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti. The pieces feature virtuosic harpsichord writing, inventive harmonies, rhythmic drive and Iberian-influenced gestures, and they mark an important development in Scarlatti's output and in the evolution of the solo keyboard sonata.
First released: November 1990
