↑ Aus dem Vorwort von Ralph Kirkpatrick in Scarlatti: Sixty Sonatas in Two Volumes, edited in chronological order from the manuscript and earliest printed sources with a preface by Ralph Kirkpatrick, Vol. 1, Schirmer’s Library of Musical Classics, Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation, S. V: „Domenico Scarlatti was without question the most original keyboard composer of his century, but his true originality became first apparent only in later life. […] Only with his definitive departure from Italy in 1719, and after his father’s death in 1725 does Domenico Scarlatti appear to have developed the style that has rendered him one of the greatest keyboard composers of all time.“
