dc.description.abstractEighteenth-century composer Domenico Scarlatti is celebrated for his more than five-hundred keyboard sonatas, but traditional scholarship is in need of new avenues. Responding to the call for bolder approaches to the composer’s music, this thesis utilizes an experimental methodology of applied somaesthetics. Chapter I consists of a short literature review, an explanation of somaesthetics, and an explanation of relevant methodologies. Chapter II compares similarities between composers Boccherini and Scarlatti, and examines Scarlatti’s use of hand crossings and lateral leaps as they pertain to the concept of the grotesque. Chapter III is a sustained analysis of K.113 with an applied somaesthetic framework; it concludes by comparing the analysis of K.113 with manuscript sources and cultural considerations on eighteenth-century Spain. Chapter IV briefly examines Scarlatti’s one and only keyboard music publication, the Essercizi and summarizes directions of future research on this project.en_US
