Scarlatti - Sonata No. 17
Sonata No. 17 was originally composed for keyboard and was later transcribed for trumpet and piano. It contains octave intervals, fast scale and arpeggio patterns, little rest. This is a great solo for learning some common Baroque ornaments, as there are many notated in this piece instead of improvised.
Range: A below the staff to A above the staff
