Jill Crossland (piano)

Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata in F minor, Kp466
Johann Sebastian Bach - Partita no 1 in B flat, BWV825

A recital of two melodically inspired Baroque works- K466 is pastorale-like, clearly showing the influence both Scarlatti’s native Italy and his adopted Portugal /Spain, one of 555 sonatas he wrote for Princess Maria Barbara.

This Partita is Bach’s very first published work, from 1726, advertised as the first of a subscription set of six. A statement of his mature prowess (Bach was in his 40s), not a stage in his evolution. Bach made the work as accessible, tuneful and winning as he could, to encourage its commercial sale, from a transparent prelude, through light-hearted minuets and the virtuosic concluding gigue.
