Hmm. . . would that be Domenico or Alessandro? Sounds pretty esoteric to me, and I'm afraid I can't help.
A couple of months ago, we had a Baroque Festival/Competition in an adjoining town (Orinda), and a couple of kids played sonatas by "D. Scarlatti" (as listed in the program). So to pass the time between performances, the MC guy would ask questions to the kids while the judges were writing their comments. (And if they answered correctly, he would give them a wrapped piece of candy!) One question he asked was, "The program says 'D. Scarlatti'. What does the 'D' stand for?" One kid raised his hand and answered, "Dario?". For some reason, the idea that there would be a composer named Dario Scarlatti just struck me as funny!
Also, I know what you mean about hearing the same music over and over (or at least many times) while judging or supervising competitions and exams. Pianist Nathan Schwartz told me one time that he had to judge a competition where the REQUIRED work was the Anton Rubinstein Piano Concerto No. 4. He said that after he'd heard about 20 performances in a row of this work, he NEVER wanted to hear it again! ;-)
