Sonata K.54 L.241

Scarlatti wrote over 500 sonatas for harpsichord, and each stands out as a unique work. The term ‘Sonata’ attributed to these works is not relate to the more well known classical definition of a work with several movements as Scarlatti’s sonatas are brief works, most just a few minutes long.  They have a rhythmic intensity based on dance movements, as were most baroque harpsichord pieces.
