The 550 sonatas of Scarlatti are perhaps the most successful works to migrate from the harpsichord to the modern grand piano. Especially appealing to modern performers is their pungently flavorful evocations of the popular folk music of Spain, not to mention the flurries of repeated notes, octaves and register-spanning arpeggios that make them such effective vehicles for pianistic display.
