50 (1992) in the Cambridge Music Handbook series and editor of Haydn Studies (Cambridge 1998). He is author of Haydn: String Quartets, Op. dean sutc l i f f e is University Lecturer at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine’s College. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographical difficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musical style. A principal task of this book, the first in English on the sonatas for fifty years, is to remove the composer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefine his image. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thorough reconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed to Scarlatti’s position, but also sustained engagement with the music, offering both individual readings and broader commentary of an unprecedented kind.



Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence – of the sort normally taken for granted when dealing with composers of the last few hundred years – has hindered musicological activity. The sources of his style are often obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern. Scarlatti occupies a position of solitary splendour in musical history. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet least understood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti.
