I liked this quiz, even though I did terribly because I can't spell in Italian. Scarlatti occurred to me just when I had given up, which was annoying.

Just for your information, only the first few measures of the 'Adagio in G minor' were written by Albinoni (actually, even this is debated), the rest was composed by his biographer Remo Giazotto.
