Domenico Scarlatti, one of this year’s celebrated composers, left a legacy that belongs to every type of keyboard. His sonatas, or “exercises,” remain a symbol of elegance and virtuosity, performed by both competition participants and experienced concert artists.
Scarlatti’s keyboard world is often divided by instruments, styles, and the personal aesthetics of each performer. This project explores whether these differences can coexist on one stage. Two distinguished musicians, Natalia Sikorska (harpsichord) and Roman Lopatynsky (piano), will meet in a unique performance featuring Scarlatti’s well-known and lesser-known sonatas on three instruments: harpsichord, tafelklavier, and grand piano.
