Description
‘Texting Scarlatti’ is the first comprehensive study of Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas based on analysis of nearly 3,300 contemporary manuscripts and printed copies. The project aims to understand better his approach to composition, trace the reception of his music beyond Spain and across Europe, and apply the findings to modern performance practices. This pioneering work offers a new model for musicological research, combining traditional textual scholarship with cutting-edge technology and collaborative crowdsourcing methods. In this presentation we will illustrate what we have been doing and why, how we have been doing it, and the conclusions we have been able to draw.
