As I am sure you all know there is this tale that Scarlatti heard the
   baroque guitar played in the streets of Madrid and tried to reproduce
   some of its unique effects in his keyboard sonatas.

   But does anyone know what the actual source for this mugget of
   information is.   Is it well documented or is just a myth?
