the change to triplets is striking in this piece! very cool. The term mercurial applies here. Love it. I know that Bach was into numerology but now I think Scarlatti was a master of it. Could this piece be played backwards or upside down. At some point I would love to hear more about the temperament you are using here! Cheers
Bach certainly had an obsession with numbers and their application to composition. In this Scarlatti piece, the usual paired sonatas are combined into a single sonata, highlighted by the changes in time signature from cut time to 12/8, and from major to minor. It lends to its extraordinary length, as this sonata occupies 8 pages in score rather than the usual 4. Glad you like it!
