Abstract
The Piano Sonata in C major, L. 104, by Domenico Scarlatti, is perhaps the best known of Scarlatti's sonatas. It is the only one with a recapitulation which mirrors in each possible detail the parts of the exposition. Small though its proportions are (sixty-six measures), this piece nevertheless contains within 1 t all the essential elements of classical sonata form. The opening subject in C major is followed by a second subject in G major, distinct in its rhythmic and melodic contours from the first. The development is constructed of material derived from the first subject presented in different tonalities: C minor, F minor, E-flat major, and C minor, ending on a pedal G followed by a cadenza-like flourish which emphasizes G. After a pause on G, the recapitulation proceeds entirely in the tonic, shortened only by the absence of the transitional measures which previously aided the modulation from tonic to dominant.
