Alessandro Scarlatti

Musical plenitude was norm to the Scarlatti family. Alessandro wrote 115 operas amongst a welter of other music, only to be upstaged by his son Domenico Scarlatti's 550 keyboard sonatas, also amongst an outpouring of other music. Alessandro was born in Palermo on 2 May 1660, died in Naples on 22 October 1725 and is honoured with stylistic development in operatic writing, and generally with the excellence of his invention and craft.
