sonatas, these works for harpshichord (and some for the early piano) are clearly ancestors of today\;s etude or study (exercise). Eighteenth-century English publishers at the time used the term lesson to describe similar pieces, and Scarlatti\'s first published set was collectively named the Italian equivalent, Essercizi, probably the most appropriate title for the set, despite their abundance of great musical ideas (many believe Chopin was the first prolific composer to write "studies" that sound musical, but I would argue that Scarlatti was the first).', CAPTION, 'Sonata K. 371 (L. 17) in E-flat');" onmouseout="return nd();">K 371 (L 17) in E-flat |
