Some points

This would be the first article about a Scarlatti Keyboard Sonata. We should make it right.

Name - the name should be Piano Sonata or Keyboard Sonata, with either a number (as for Mozart) or the catalogue number, so Keyboard Sonata No. xy (Scarlatti) or Keyboard Sonata, K. 141.
adding: I gave two examples of working names. The present name, Keyboard Sonata K. 141 (Scarlatti), is not according to the Manual of style. The catalogue number is separated by a comma, and (different from Op.) the composer is not needed. If you want the composer's name, please take the other option. --
Sonata form: it's no surprise (so should not be mentioned) that it is not in sonata form because that the term wasn't invented yet when he composed it.
YouTube: One is enough, and should be formatted properly. Just at a glance, haven't looked at references. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
YouTube should be used as external links. Recordings should be described in prose, with links to performers, and references, best with reviews. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To people with depth of understanding of musical history, sure, but maybe not to the everyday encyclopedia viewer. This is a topic of much confusion for people with only a surface level interest in classical music, and since this is by far scarlatti's most famous sonata, I thought the distinction was worth mentioning and does not detract from the article Tqger (talk) 01:31, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your assertion on sonata form is not really true. There are and have always been many variations of sonata form—see Sonata theory#Sonata types, where this one is clearly either T1 or 2. Just because its not 'Exposition-Development-Recap', does not warrant it being called "not in sonata form" (an uncited statement which should be removed regardless). Note how our Sonata form article says "Sonata form is a musical structure generally consisting of three main sections" (my emphasis). Aza24 (talk) 07:53, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are many kinds of sonatas, but Sonata form is a specific form of classical period and later compositions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
External links are not permitted in the article body, so please replace them by a full sentence "... was recorded (when?) (by whom?)", with a citation by the external link. Please compare other articles about compositions. Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
