Bach and Scarlatti Up Close and Personal
About This Event
Groupmuse NYC presents "Bach and Scarlatti Up Close and Personal", a program of works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti. The lineup juxtaposes Scarlatti — known for his 555 keyboard sonatas and years at Iberian courts — with Bach, whose output ranges from intimate solo pieces to dense contrapuntal compositions, inviting direct comparison of Baroque keyboard approaches.
