Better get a new dictionary.  26 Oct. 1685 is the accepted birth date
for Scarlatti.  You're right on Schuetz, however--8 Oct. 1585.

But curiouser and curiouser... My Peters music calendar shows that
5 Sep. 1985 is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Johann Christian
Bach.  At 50, ol' J.S. had a passion for more than just composing.
