Scarlatti Sonata No. 30 , K30 , L499 - The Cat's Fugue Details
From the opening statement of its bizarre theme, through its ingenious development, to its exciting culmination, Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata No. 30, known as The Cat's Fugue, is a fascinating and exciting composition. The story that the unusual sequence of notes forming the subject originated when a cat jumped from Scarlatti's lap to the keyboard may be apocryphal, but it probably contributed considerably to the popularity of the work. The present edition has been prepared from the composer's original edition, published in 1728. All important variants in other early editions have been carefully footnoted. This remarkable edition is so clearly engraved that it may be used for performance. Read more
