DOMENICO SCARLATTI

26th October 1685 --- 23rd July 1757

Domenico Scarlatti was the eldest son of Alessandro Scarlatti, also a composer, Domenico who was born at Naples on the
26th October 1685.  Presumably he studied at first under his father,  but he was in all  probability also  a pupil of Gaetano
Greco.

In  1704 he  remodelled  Pollaroli's  Trene for  performance  at Naples. In  1709 Domenico  entered  the  service of  Marie
Casimire, queen of Poland, then living in Rome, and composed sereval operas for her private theatre.

He was then Masestro di Cappella at St.Peter's from 1715 to 1719, and in the later year came to London to direct is opera
Narciso  at the King's Theatre.  In 1720 or 1721,  he went  to Lisbon,  where he taught  music to  the princess  Magdalena
Theresia.

He was at  Naples again in 1725,  but in 1729 went to Madrid as music master to the princess,  who had married into the
spanish royal house.

He is supposed to have died in 1757.
