Scarlatti - Sonata in D major K96 L465 arr. fl., vla. (or cl.) and harp by Nicholas Ellis Fiona RutherfordONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH sheetmusicplus. com, TO ORDER CLICK HERE Best known for his dazzling output of over 500 keyboard sonatas, Scarlatti revelled in invention, wit, and surprise. The Sonata in D major, K. 96, sometimes nicknamed La chasse (The Hunt), is a brilliant example: full of bright fanfares, quicksilver figuration, and rhythmic playfulness that delights as much today as it did in the 18th century. Transcribed for flute, viola (or clarinet)
