Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Sonata, K. 380           Domenico Scarlatti

Scarlatti wrote music for a variety of genres including sacred music for St. Peter's Basilica (where he worked for six years as assistant maestro and later as maestro of the Capella Giulia), secular cantatas, and opera.  However, he is most famous for the hundreds of harpsichord sonatas written during the last 28 years of his life while working for Maria Barbara, the Queen of Spain.  The Sonata K. 380 is one such sonata; it follows Scarlatti's customary binary form.    Beau Benson
