Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / The cantatas of Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) represent the culmination of more than a century of Italian secular cantata composition. Although overshadowed by the immense popularity of the Neapolitan opera, the cantata served as the ideal medium for the experimentation with and the perfection of new musical techniques. Thus, while Scarlatti himself was far better known for his operas, his numerous cantatas are historically of more special musical significance. Although Scarlatti's cantatas are distinguished by their beauty and craftsmanship, only a very few have been edited in modern published editions. This is despite the fact that almost eight hundred of Scarlatti's cantatas are known to exist in manuscript form. These have been exhaustively indexed by Edwin Hanley in an unpublished Yale University dissertation, "Alessandro Scarlatti's Cantate da Camera: A Bibliographic Study" (1963). However, the forthcoming complete edition of them lies years in the future. [TRUNCATED]

The goal of the work is to amplify the volume of respectable academic work dedicated to the pieces and life of Domenico Scarlatti which is not, even nowadays, much abundant in the Czech language. The author's effort was also to help other interpreters of Scarlatti's sonatas, who might be reading this work in the future, to familiarize with pieces of knowledge on the sonatas which has not been widely known and to get valuable and inspirational stimuli that may help them when practising. The work is focused on the form of the sonatas and on solution of technical difficulties, which, considering the period of their origin, are much unprecedented. It were these analyses that help the author elucidate the thematic field that can be also found in the title of the work - musical and pianistic contribution of the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti.
