Seven Sonatas

The Seven Sonatas are a collection of classical violin and keyboard compositions by the Italian composer Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti, composed in the early 18th century. Each sonata is a short, self-contained piece that explores different musical ideas, moods, and technical challenges. They are known for their energetic melodies, inventive harmonies, and innovative use of keyboard techniques. Originally written for harpsichord, these sonatas showcase Scarlatti’s mastery of musical form and his ability to craft expressive, playful, and technically engaging music within a compact structure. They remain influential and celebrated in the classical repertoire.
