For the advanced piano student, Domenico Scarlatti isn't just a historical figure; he's a gateway to a world of unparalleled keyboard brilliance, technical demands, and surprisingly modern musical ideas. While often overshadowed by his contemporaries Bach and Handel, Scarlatti's over 550 keyboard sonatas (many discovered posthumously) offer a unique and rewarding challenge.

Music has an extraordinary power to transcend time, culture, and personal experience, offering solace, reflection, and connection.
