DOMENICO SCARLATTI (1685-1757): Mandolin Sonatas in G, K 91, in E Minor, K 81, in G Minor, K 88, in D Minor, K 90, in D Minor, K 77 and in D Minor, K 89.

Description: These are among the six "keyboard" sonatas presented last month (10P022) as violin sonatas (because their manuscripts have a figured bass in the right hand and presuppose a high melody instrument in the left hand part). Here the mandolin is chosen instead of the violin, which is kind of nice since there is such little material on disc for this attractive instrument. Artemandoline.
