Pieter-Jan Belder

Pieter-Jan Belder

With the folk influences that Domenico Scarlatti absorbed during his stay in Seville, he gave Iberian keyboard music a decisive turn. The idea, however, cannot be entirely credited to him: at the Portuguese court he had taught Carlos Seixas, a young keyboardist who was experimenting with folk music. Antonio Soler, in turn, had his composer's hand guided by Scarlatti. Pieter-Jan Belder interweaves the musical ins and outs of this fascinating triumvirate.
