Jasper Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Wherever I check, I can only find that Kurt-Heinz Stolze arranged music from Scarlatti - but no more details. Any hint which music he used would be most welcome! Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Jasper, when the Royal Ballet did The Taming of the Shrew they quoted from a music note by the composer/arranger, Kurt-Heinz Stolze: "The music.. is drawn from the...550 Sonatas for keyboard by... Scarlatti... 'After Scarlatti' is to interpreted in a broad sense: variations on themes from the Sonatas are untilized, appearing sometimes as brief sketches and sometimes in a more formal style, typical of the composer." So it sounds as if knowing which of the 550 he started with might not be all that helpful. Link to comment
Jasper Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 Dear Jane, thanks for this information - you're right, that way it might be quite impossible to find out the details... A pity, though, as it would be quite interesting... Sonja Link to comment
Treefrog Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The Cranko "Shrew" is in the Joffrey's repertoire. You could try emailing someone there and asking. Here are some possible contacts from the Joffrey website. At this moment, however, the company is quite busy with the Ashton festival in New York. You might not get an immediate reply.

Jasper Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Treefrog, many thanks! Will try this - it's not urgent as I've been searching for quite a while already, so it will be worth trying! Link to comment
