The sheer volume of them—some 555 in all—is astounding. It takes about 34 hours to play through them all (Beethoven's complete piano works would only take half that time). Bach comes close, but only if you include the organ works. The great majority are written in binary form—two sections, both repeated. It seems they were also largely written for one person, Scarlatti's very gifted pupil, patron and friend Princess Maria Barbara of Portugal, who became the Queen of Spain. None exists in the composer's hand. They have all been passed down to us—thanks to the famous castrato Farinelli, who transported them back to Italy from Spain—in manuscripts copied by others. It is also exceptional that most of them were written after Scarlatti had reached the age of fifty. Born in Naples in 1685, the same year as Bach and Handel, Domenico (or 'Mimo' as he was nicknamed) was brought up in a clan of musicians, the most famous being his father, Alessandro Scarlatti. The latter's fame as a composer of operas and cantatas seems to have overshadowed Domenico's talents, even though Alessandro did everything he could to help his son. After periods of living and working in Naples, Venice and Rome (as maestro di cappella at the Vatican), he was hired as Kapellmeister by Joao V of Portugal, probably arriving there in 1719. Most of the records of this time were lost in the great Lisbon earthquake and tsunami of 1755. There is much we will never know. After his father's death in 1725, Scarlatti's life bloomed. He married for the first time at the age of forty-two. His bride was only sixteen, and it was most likely an arranged marriage, as was common at the time in Mediterranean countries. Ralph Kirkpatrick, to whom we owe so much for his 1953 biography of Scarlatti, makes an interesting presumption. Domenico's marriage coincided with the marriage of his cherished pupil, Princess Maria Barbara (then eighteen), to the heir of the Spanish throne, two years her junior. It is evident that the flowering of his genius coincided with the constant contact with his pupil, and that she insisted that he follow her to Spain. At the time her whole musical life was wrapped up with Domingo Escarlati (as she called him). ...
