In addition to Toccata Fugue Gawait toccatas and fugus, most of which are based on Allegro allegretto Andante and other songs with the name of speed. There is no lack of single movement music. Strictly speaking, his "sonata" is not the sonata in our concept. The reason is that Scarlatti's sonata has two contrasting themes Presentation part , and Unfolding part However, its reproduction part is not perfect and cannot be regarded as the reproduction part of sonata. Many experts believe that Scarlatti's sonatas are often composed and played by a group of two pieces with the same tonal urgency (or urgency).
Perhaps due to Scarlatti's Italian blood, as well as the influence of his father Corelli's Baroque Sonata and A. Scarlatti's opera, Scarlatti's sonatas are full of musical characteristics Italian music It has beautiful melody, rich harmony, colorful modulation techniques and Spanish music And other styles, so as to surpass Baroque Rococo And become Classical music school keyboard instrument A grand blueprint of music. Technically parallel 3, 6, and full 8 degrees Interval Playing method, homophonic repetition, colorful decoration Phoneme broken chord The sound form and other skills that the harpsichord could display at that time were almost collected in these 555 sonatas. The difficulty in skills was one thing, and the composition techniques at that time were absolutely pioneering. Remember Paul Henry Langer in his movie music history When talking about Scarlatti's sonata in the famous book "Music in Western Culture", he said: "This kind of awareness of processing music materials into multiple themes and making them contrast is epoch-making, and only Scarlatti can realize it. The first step towards a new instrumental music style is keyboard music, and Scarlatti's performance strongly proves our theory. "
