- In the last five years of Domenico Scarlatti's life , from 1752 to 1757, handwritten anthologies were created in Madrid with almost 500 of his harpsichord sonatas. There are two large collections, which are largely the same: the larger one was probably intended for Scarlatti's pupil, Queen Maria Barbara of Spain , and consists of 15 volumes which are now in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice ; 13 volumes alone were created from 1752 onwards. The second collection also contains 15 volumes, all of which were written down from 1752 and are now in Parma in the Biblioteca Palatina of the Conservatorio Arrigo Boito. The exact time of origin of the traditional pieces is not known, but it is likely to be largely in the 1730s to 1750s.

Individual evidence
- ↑ But no manuscripts from Scarlatti's own hand!
- ↑ The other two as early as 1742 and 1749.
- ↑ So not all sonatas were composed until 1752-57!
