Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti (Naples, 26 October 1685 – Madrid, 23 July 1757) who wrote the Sonata in E Minor was an Italian composer. He is classified primarily as a Baroque composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers to transition into the classical period. Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his 555 keyboard sonatas. – Andrés Segovia Wikipedia
