Subject:	from "bon gout" to "buen gusto" truncated Scarlatti K.424

   My introduction to Scarlatti was through highly regarded James Friskin edition of "12 Selected sonatas for piano", v.2, J.Fischer - Belwin Mills. FE 8100.  But on p.29, the K.424 appeared without the virtuoso, fanfare like introduction. Why did Friskin cut it out? Were his reasons behind this abbreviation purely easthetical  or practical? too many trills? My opinon is that he missed the point: K 424 is toccta like sonata, and it reminds us of Bach's toccatas, and the introduction to  Beethoven Adagio in op 106 - Hammerklavier Sonata and Chopin's "Winter Wind" etude Op 25. Any opinions? Andrew Makuch
