Note that the fifth and last movement of Bustijn
Suite 4 is recorded as two tracks.
Bustijn (16481729) was a Flemish composer
admired by Bach. He wrote a set of 9
suites which suit the piano well. Platti
(1697-1763) was largely a composer of chamber
and vocal music but he wrote 20 sonatas for
harpsichord which adapt well for the piano.
Scarlatti is too well-known to need any comment.
