Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti<\/a> (26 October 1685 \u2013 23 July 1757) who wrote the Sonata K. 87<\/em> in B Minor was an Italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his\u00a0555 keyboard sonatas<\/a>. He is classified primarily as a Baroque composer<\/a> 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. He was born in 1685, the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach<\/a> and George Frideric Handel.- Vladimir Horowitz<\/a><\/p>\n
