Keyboard Sonata in C major, R.7
Antonio Soler · baroque · Suites, toccatas & sonatas
Keyboard Sonata in C major, R.7 asks for sustained command across a whole multi-movement work and idiomatic harpsichord figuration. Complete suites and partitas, the free toccata, and the single-movement sonata (Scarlatti, C.P.E. Bach) — idiomatic harpsichord figuration over a whole work.
Why this piece, and where it sits
F. Couperin, L’art de toucher le clavecin (1716) — for touch and taste at the harpsichord (skill: sustained multi-movement command, idiomatic figuration, registration).
