'''Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti''' (26 October 1685 – 23 July 1757) was an Italian composer. He is classified primarily as a [[Baroque music|Baroque]] composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the [[Classical period (music)|Classical style]]. Like his renowned father [[Alessandro Scarlatti]], he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for [[List of solo keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti|his 555 keyboard sonatas]].<ref name=EB>{{cite web |last=Kirkpatrick|first=Ralph|author-link=Ralph Kirkpatrick|title=Domenico Scarlatti |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Domenico-Scarlatti |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] Online|date=19 July 2023 }}</ref> He spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families.

==Life and career ==
Scarlatti was born in [[Naples]], [[Kingdom of Naples]], then belonging to the [[Spanish Empire]]. He was born in 1685, the same year as [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] and [[George Frideric Handel]].<ref name=EB /> He was the sixth of ten children of the composer and teacher [[Alessandro Scarlatti]]. His older brother [[Pietro Filippo Scarlatti|Pietro Filippo]] was also a musician.

Scarlatti first studied music under his father.<ref>{{cite web |title=Domenico Scarlatti |url=http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Name/Domenico-Scarlatti/Composer/10743-1 |website=ArkivMusic: the source for classical music |access-date=2 October 2018 |archive-date=27 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027063015/http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Name/Domenico-Scarlatti/Composer/10743-1 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Other composers who may have been his early teachers include [[Gaetano Greco]], [[Francesco Gasparini]], and [[Bernardo Pasquini]], all of whom may have influenced his musical style.

Scarlatti was appointed as a composer and [[organist]] at the [[Chapel Royal of Naples]] in 1701 and briefly worked under his father, who was then the chapel's ''maestro di cappella''. In 1703 he revised [[Carlo Francesco Pollarolo]]'s opera ''Irene'' for performance at Naples. Soon after, his father sent him to [[Venice]]. After this, nothing is known of his life until 1709, when he went to [[Rome]] and entered the service of the exiled Polish queen [[Marie Casimire Louise de La Grange d'Arquien|Marie Casimire]]. It was there he met [[Thomas Roseingrave]]. Scarlatti was already an accomplished [[harpsichord]]ist; there is a story of a trial of skill with [[George Frideric Handel]] at the palace of [[Pietro Ottoboni (cardinal)|Cardinal Ottoboni]] in Rome, where Scarlatti was judged possibly superior to Handel on the [[harpsichord]], although inferior on the [[organ (music)|organ]]. Later in life, he was known to [[Sign of the cross|cross himself]] in veneration when speaking of Handel's skill.<ref>Boyd, Malcolm. ''Domenico Scarlatti: Master of Music'' (1986)</ref>

While in Rome, Scarlatti composed several operas, including ''[[Tolomeo e Alessandro]]'' (1711) and ''[[Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura]]'' (1714) for Queen Casimir's private theatre. He was ''Maestro di Cappella'' at St. Peter's from 1715 to 1719. In 1719 he travelled to London to direct ''Amor d'un'ombra e gelosia d'un'aura'' under the title ''Narciso'' at the [[Her Majesty's Theatre|King's Theatre]].

According to Vicente Bicchi, [[Nuncio|Papal Nuncio]] in Portugal at the time, Scarlatti arrived in [[Lisbon]] on 29 November 1719. There he taught music to the Portuguese princess [[Barbara of Portugal|Maria Magdalena Barbara]]. He left Lisbon on 28 January 1727 for Rome, where he married Maria Caterina Gentili on 6 May 1728. In 1729 he moved to [[Seville]], staying for four years. In 1733, he went to Madrid as a music master to Princess Maria Barbara, who had married into the Spanish royal house. She later became Queen of Spain. Scarlatti remained in Spain for the remaining 25 years of his life and had five children there. After his wife died in 1739, he married a Spaniard, Anastasia Maxarti Ximenes. Among his compositions during his time in Madrid were most of the 555 keyboard sonatas for which he is best known.

Scarlatti befriended the [[castrato]] singer [[Farinelli]], a fellow Neapolitan also enjoying royal patronage in Madrid. Musicologist and harpsichordist [[Ralph Kirkpatrick]], who published a biography of Scarlatti in 1953, commented that Farinelli's correspondence provides "most of the direct information about Scarlatti that has transmitted itself to our day".

Scarlatti died in Madrid at the age of 71. His residence at 35 Calle de Leganitos is designated with a historical plaque, and his descendants still live in Madrid. He was buried at a convent there, but his grave no longer exists.

Minor planet [[6480 Scarlatti]] is named in his honour.<ref>|{{cite book|publisher=Springer |date=2003 |isbn=978-3-540-29925-7 |doi=10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_5896 |chapter=(6479) Leoconnolly |title=Dictionary of Minor Planet Names |page=536 }}</ref>

Only a small number of Scarlatti's compositions were published during his lifetime. Scarlatti himself seems to have overseen the publication in 1738 of the most famous collection, his 30 ''Esercizi'' (Exercises). They were well received throughout Europe and were championed by the foremost English writer on music of the eighteenth century, [[Charles Burney]]. Burney wrote that the harpsichordist [[Joseph Kelway]] was "head of the Scarlatti sect", a group of English musicians that championed Scarlatti as early as 1739, also including [[Thomas Roseingrave]].<ref>Kroll, Mark. ''Bach, Handel and Scarlatti: Reception in Britain, 1750-1850'', (2023), p. 13</ref><ref>[[Charles Burney]]. ''A General History of Music'' (1789), 1957 edition ed. Frank Mercer, vol. 2, p. 1009</ref>

The many sonatas unpublished during Scarlatti's lifetime have appeared in print irregularly in the past two and a half centuries. He has attracted notable admirers, including [[Béla Bartók]], [[Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli]], [[Pieter-Jan Belder]], [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], [[Muzio Clementi]], [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]], [[Ludwig van Beethoven]], [[Carl Czerny]], [[Franz Liszt]], [[Johannes Brahms]], [[Frédéric Chopin]], [[Claude Debussy]], [[Emil Gilels]], [[Francis Poulenc]], [[Olivier Messiaen]], [[Enrique Granados]], [[Marc-André Hamelin]], [[Vladimir Horowitz]], [[Ivo Pogorelić]], [[Scott Ross (harpsichordist)|Scott Ross]] (the first performer to record all 555 sonatas), [[Heinrich Schenker]], [[András Schiff]] and [[Dmitri Shostakovich]]. {{Citation needed|date=August 2020|reason=while many of these are correct, I can't immediately find sources to support some of the others}}

Scarlatti's 555 keyboard sonatas are single movements, mostly in [[binary form]], and some in early [[sonata form]], and mostly written for [[harpsichord]] or the earliest [[pianoforte]]s. (There are four for the organ and a few for small instrumental groups). Some display harmonic audacity in their use of discords, and unconventional [[Modulation (music)|modulations]] to remote [[key (music)|keys]].

Though Scarlatti wrote over 500 sonatas, there is a wide variety in his works. Some are deeply serious, others are light and almost humorous. Some sound like courtly dances, others like street songs. This ability to cover a wide range of styles and moods is one of the hallmarks of Scarlatti's work. Another stylistic trait of this composer is the ability to mix “different forms or levels of discourse”.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.echo.ucla.edu/review-the-keyboard-sonatas-of-domenico-scarlatti-and-eighteenth-century-musical-style-by-w-dean-sutcliffe/ | title=Review &#124; the Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and Eighteenth-Century Musical Style by W. Dean Sutcliffe }}</ref>

Other distinctive attributes of his music are:
*The influence of Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) folk music. An example is his use of the [[Phrygian mode]] and other tonal inflections more or less alien to European art music. Many of his figurations and dissonances are suggestive of the guitar.
*The influence of the Spanish guitar can be seen in notes being played repeatedly.<ref name=Barkley>{{cite book |editor1-last=Barkley |editor1-first=Lisa |editor2-last=Bryan |editor2-first=Clark |title=Conservatory Canada New Millennium Piano Series |date=1999 |publisher=Waterloo Music Company}}</ref>

*A formal device where each half of a sonata leads to a pivotal point, which Kirkpatrick termed "the crux", and which is sometimes underlined by a pause or fermata. Before the crux, Scarlatti sonatas often contain their main thematic variety, and after the crux, the music makes more use of repetitive figurations as it modulates away from the home key (in the first half) or back to the home key (in the second half).
*Its tendency to be in the [[Galant music|''galant'' style]].<ref name=Barkley />

Kirkpatrick produced an edition of the sonatas in 1953, and the numbering from this edition—the Kk. or K. number—is now nearly always used. Previously, the numbering commonly used was from the 1906 edition compiled by Neapolitan pianist [[Alessandro Longo]] (L. numbers). Kirkpatrick's numbering is chronological, while Longo's ordering is a result of his arbitrarily grouping the sonatas into "suites". In 1967 the Italian musicologist [[Giorgio Pestelli]] published a revised catalogue (using P. numbers), which corrected what he considered to be some [[anachronism]]s, and added some sonatas missing from Kirkpatrick's edition.<ref>See [[List of solo keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti]] for a list converting Longo, Kirkpatrick, Pistelli, and Czerny numbers of Scarlatti's sonatas.</ref> Although the exact composition dates for these surviving sonatas are not known, Kirkpatrick concluded that they might all have been composed late in Scarlatti's career (after 1735), with most of them possibly written after the composer's 67th birthday.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Domenico Scarlatti: Revised Edition|last=Kirkpatrick|first=Ralph|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1983|isbn=0-691-09101-3|location=Princeton, New Jersey|pages=145}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Classical Music|last=Downs|first=Philip G.|publisher=Norton|year=1992|isbn=0-393-95191-X|location=New York|pages=49}}</ref>

Aside from his many sonatas, Scarlatti composed several operas, cantatas, and liturgical pieces. Well-known works include the ''Stabat Mater'' of 1715, and the ''Salve Regina'' of 1756, which is thought to be his last composition.
