Sonata K. 132 (Cantabile) Uploaded by: Pietro Composer: Scarlatti, Domenico Organ: Ruckers Cembalo by František Vyhnálek Software: Hauptwerk IV Views: 39
Folio 39 of manuscript Ms Lynar B3 contains 4 small preludes. The reason why they are so short can only be guessed. Perhaps they were meant as intonations. Or perhaps they were meant as models for the start of a larger scale composition or improvisation. They consist of a contrapuntal exposition of a motive, almost immediately followed by a conclusion. Because they are so small I grouped three of them in one score. The fourth is a litlle bit longer, fits nicely on one page and will be published seperately.
