Product Description
Although Domenico Scarlatti never wrote music for guitar, many of his more than 500 sonatas for harpsichord, maybe around 200, have been transcribed for guitar in the last century.
Scarlatti has become part of the "natural" repertoire for classical guitarists. The list of the guitar masters that have transcribed (and recorded) sonatas from Scarlatti has no end: Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, Narciso Yepes, Jose de Azpiazu, John Williams, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Eliot Fisk, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, John W. Duarte, Leo Brouwer, Stephan Schmidt, Fabio Zanon, Andrew Zohn, Claudio Giuliani, Roberto Aussel, Wolfgang Lendle, Alberto Mesirca, Thibault Caubin, Eduardo Fernandez, Luigi Attademo, Stephan Marchionda, Gerard Abiton and so on...
Sonata K351, along with K265 and K284, has the inusual Rondo form in the Scarlatti's catalogue and it has never been transcribed before for solo guitar. The refrain is written in 2/2 time (Andante) and it alternates with the couplets, written in 3/8 time (Allegrissimo). In the end, Scarlatti adds a new section combining the time signature of the refrain with the tempo mark of the couplets (2/2 - Allegrissimo).
