So I guess I am not the only Scarlatti fan on the forum.

Scarlatti not only wrote over 500 sonatas, but he also owned several bevel-drive Ducati motorcycles.

I heard Scarlotti was a pretty good airplane pilot. Is that possible?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds want to know. The love of motorcycles and flying go together. I know at least three dedicated motorcyclist who are pilots as well.

Scarlatti was a married gay vegetarian far-right evangelical Christian who loved Liszt, and admired Lang-Lang's musicality. (Let's see if that works...  )

Actually, a piece of scarlatti dipped in milk or hot chocolate makes a yummy treat.

On a more serious note - I'm actually not sure I've ever played any Scarlatti. Would I recognize it if I heard it? Do you think it's on the juke box at the local biker bar? Jodi

i thought scarlatti is a medical condition in which scar tissue forms easily and everywhere on skin, an italian term derived from the latin..scar alati
in english..scar alot
in french...scare beaucoup
in spanish...muchos scarros
in japanese...scaronaya saki

I don't think I've ever heard Scarlatti, but I know that I had to read The Scarlatti Letter in high school.
I'm sorry. I'll stop now.

My daughter had to read "The Scarlotti Pimpernell" in eighth grade. I'll stop if Mark will stop.

Another tidbit about young Scarlatti: before deciding to become a composer like his father, he traveled with a group of performing acrobats - gymnasts and tumblers mostly. But do you know what his specialty in this performance realm was?
