[chenopus]

too fast

[ciorciolo]

Thanks for including this song. Were 33 years that I wanted to listen to it

but did not know the title. Thanks again.

viva la musica italiana..!!!!

This some fun stuff! Lots of flying textures and runs. The string work presents a true musical barrage! Great stuff. I haven't 'discovered' Scarlatti yet, but based on what I'm hearing here he's no doubt further on down the road on my musical journey... Thanks a lot for this, Thrax!

GOSH!!! This is completely genius.s

A total chromatic adventure going on here! There must have been a party going on in Domenico Scarlatti's head when he composed this!

Scarlatti Jr:

"Party in my head, everyone!"

[bubblykings]

Oh what an AWESOME overture! Scarlatti is just as good at writing operas as he is at writing for solo harpsichords!

[Thrax1982]

I like it a lot too, I would certainly put it in the top 10 in my little collection here.

[hngltn]

and what are your top 10?

[Thrax1982]

It's very hard to say actually.

I think I can divide my overtures here in 3 groups.

1. Those I really like.

2. Those I kind of like.

3. Those that I've uploaded for the sake of diversity - maybe someone will like them :P
