Scarlatti's overall ambitus is interesting because you can clearly see he
had F-f''' instruments and G-g''' ones at various stages, but not, if I am
correct, F-g''' instruments.
Hi Andrew, well you correct but only up to a point! :-)
I quote from a recent publication of mine (2014):
"He employed the range from FF to g'" in K.483 and K.485: in the latter he
covered the full range in just two bars, 49-50. Interestingly, Scarlatti
scored neither FF# nor GG#: he is thus likely to have used an Iberian
instrument with the common GG-g'" range, retuning to FF the otherwise not
used GG#".
[More generally, I am surprised that this topic or range for Baroque 18th c.
music is being repeated AGAIN. In this list we have dealt with it many times
in the past, with dozens of posts as recently as October 2016. I understand
it is the policy of this list (and of any decent one) to avoid repeating
questions without bothering to check whether they have been already answered
in the recent past, and to refrain to post again unless there is something
new to be said.]
Have a nice weekend!
