By Javier San Martín, Iñigo Aristu and Adrian Zuazu ====== Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples in 1685, the same year as Bach and Handel. He was the sixth of ten children and a younger brother to Piettro Filipo Scarlatti also a musician. He became a composer and organist at the royal chapel in Naples in 1701 and in 1709 he went to Rome in the service of Marie. In 1719 he arrived at London. In 1742 he married a Spaniard, Anastasia Maxarti Ximenes. Domenico Scarlatti died in Madrid, aged 71 on the 23 of July of 1757. Scarlatti's 555 keyboard sonatas are single movements, mostly in binary some of them are for organ and a few of them for chamber music.
 * Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti:** 26 October 1685 to 23 July 1757 was an italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the portuguese and spanish royal families. He is classified as a baroque composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the classical style. His influential 555 sonatas were almost all written for the harpsichord with a few exceptions for chamber ensemble or organ.

Other distinctive attributes of Scarlatti's style are the following:
 * The influence of Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) folk music. An example is Scarlatti's use of the Phrynigan mode and other tonal inflections more or less alien to European art music
 * A formal device in which each half of a sonata leads to a pivotal point, which the Scarlatti scholar Ralph termed "the crux", and which is sometimes underlined by a pause or fermata
