Listen free: No available --- (Giuseppe) Domenico Scarlatti [Scarlata, Schalati, Soarlatti] detto 'Mimmo' (Naples, 26 October 1685 - Madrid, 23 July 1757) Italian composer and harpsichordist, sixth child of Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) and Antonia Anzaloni (1658-1725). Details about his youth and education from contemporary biographers are obscure. In 1700, Alessandro arranged for Domenico to be specially appointed as 'clavicembalista di camera', in addition to the more regular post of organist and composer of the Cappella Reale in Naples, indicating perhaps that Domenico’s flair for the harpsichord was already evident. In 1705, Alessandro had Domenico join him in Rome and then sent him to Venice, but nothing is documented about the son’s activities in either place. From Rome comes the famous, if unsupported, story about the keyboard competition between Domenico and George Frideric Handel set up by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, in which it is said that Domenico recognized Handel’s primacy on the organ but that the harpsichord competition ended in a tie. The two admired each other throughout their careers. Perhaps as early as 1708, he served the exiled Queen Maria Casimira of Poland in Rome as maestro di cappella, and then he succeeded to the same post at the prestigious Cappella Giulia at St. Peter’s after the death of Tommaso Baj on 22 December 1714. He composed his most significant sacred work, including a 10-voice Stabat Mater, at this time. His operas were occasionally staged at the Teatro Capranica, along with those of his father. Sometime before 1719, through connections with the Portuguese ambassador in Rome, he was appointed 'mestre de capela' to King João V of Portugal, and he arrived in Lisbon on 29 November 1719, charged with tutoring the king’s brother Don Antonio. A more important pupil, however, was the talented Princess Maria Barbara. Scarlatti composed sonatas (essercizi) for her and for Don Antonio; it is possible that these represent the first batch of about 550 that he would compose for harpsichord solo. On 19 January 1729, Maria Barbara married Fernando (1713-1759), heir to the throne in Spain, and soon Scarlatti followed his royal student, by her father’s command, to the Spanish court. He was certainly in Rome in January 1727, when he was ill and granted leave by the Portuguese king for his recovery. His music was performed for the princess’s betrothal ceremony on 11 January 1728 in Lisbon, but Scarlatti’s presence at the occasion is not confirmed. On 15 May that year, he married Maria Catalina Gentili in Rome. They had six children before she died on 6 May 1739. Scarlatti then married Anastasia Ximenes of Cádiz, who bore him four children. At the Spanish court, free from the obligations of a maestro di cappella, he could enjoy a fairly quiet and leisurely life of teaching and performing for and with the royal family, free to compose his harpsichord sonatas. When Fernando acceded to the Spanish throne in 1746, their resident singer Farinelli convinced them to establish a court opera, but Scarlatti was not asked to compose for it and left instead during the 1750s to copy systematically his collected sonatas. The manuscripts indicate that he composed them to the very last days of his life. As a composer, he composed 13 operas of his own from 1703 to 1718, 23 other dramatic works extending to 1728, about 70 chamber cantatas, 3 masses, 14 Latin motets, and 17 sinfonie, but his modern reputation rests on the roughly 550 harpsichord sonatas, mostly composed later in life in the service of the royal courts of Portugal and Spain. Domenico’s first widely circulated publication, the 30 Essercizi of 1737, impressed keyboard players all over the continent with its exploitation of virtuoso keyboard effects such as crossed hands and rapidly repeated tones. His brother Pietro Filippo Scarlatti (1679-1750) was also a composer mainly active in Naples.
