A universe of acrobatic challenges faces the pianist when performing Scarlatti's music: Big leaps, crossed hands over 4 octaves back and forth, (32 notes)at break neck speed, trills, and echo phrases. Add in an orchestration of gypsy laments, castanets and flamenco guitars.
It's no wonder Chopin and Vladimir Horowitz celebrated his music.
