Alessandro Longo (1864–1945) was a highly influential and strikingly versatile figure in early twentieth-century Italian musical life. He taught piano at the Naples Conservatory for around forty years, and played a key rôle in the rediscovery of Scarlatti’s harpsichord music with his critical edition of the complete sonatas. He himself wrote a substantial number of piano and chamber works, including the Suite, Op. 62, composed in October 1910 and published by Ricordi (Milan).

Today, Longo is mainly remembered for compiling an almost comprehensive catalogue of the keyboard works of Domenico Scarlatti. For many years, Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas were conventionally identified by their Longo numbers, but these were later superseded by those found in Ralph Kirkpatrick's catalogue. Longo's Catalogue originated in his landmark full publication of the works of Scarlatti in 11 volumes and implied particular groupings of the sonatas, the chronology of which was later completely revised and differently grouped in Kirkpatrick's 1953 study of the composer. Longo also edited works by Domenico Gallo. There is no copyright infringement intended.
