Discovered Scarlatti

[temperance14]

I realize that's a whole family, sort of the Spanish Bachs. Domenico is the artist in question. AccuRadio played a Quartre Variations that sounded jazzlike in their styling. Part of it was the artist's interpretation--but part of it came from the composer's melodic design.

I googled and wiki'd a bit. He sounds interesting.
Anyone else encountered this composer?

Must go back through diary: I think I may have heard his work 1-2 years ago on campus in a noon time Music department presentation.
