Scarlatti has become part of the "natural" repertoire for classical guitarists. The list of the guitar masters that have transcribed (and recorded) sonatas from Scarlatti has no end: Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, Narciso Yepes, Jose de Azpiazu, John Williams, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Eliot Fisk, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, John W. Duarte, Leo Brouwer, Stephan Schmidt, Fabio Zanon, Andrew Zohn, Claudio Giuliani, Roberto Aussel, Wolfgang Lendle, Alberto Mesirca, Thibault Caubin, Eduardo Fernandez, Luigi Attademo, Stephan Marchionda, Gerard Abiton and so on…
The K141 sonata is a challenge for any guitar player. When played at a fast tempo, its rapidly repeated notes, cascading arpeggios and descending scales, become it in a brilliant piece that keeps the listener in a constant tension from the beggining to the end. It demands a very good technique from both hands, so it is not suitable for beginners.
