- SoundtracksSonata in D Major (K491)
Composed by Domenico Scarlatti
This piece is played on harpsichord for the pleasure of King Christina. This item is also a goof because the narrative is about how Christina protected many artists from political intrigue. However, it was Domenico's father, Alessandro who received shelter. The music we hear does not go with the composer being discussed by the presenter. Interestingly, the piece was played on an antique instrument. We can tell this because the sound we hear is a half-tone too low, as though it were in D-flat Major. This is commonly done on older instruments to reduce the risk of breaking a string which would be costly to replace.
