Default Steve Hackett's Cover of Scarlatti's Sonata

Steve Hackett does a beautiful cover of one of Scarlatti's Sonatas on his new nylon album, Under a Mediterranean Sky.

Does anyone know which Sonata he is covering? Scarlatti apparently composed over 500 Sonatas, so I am curious if any of our forum members know off-hand which of Scarlatti's Sonatas he covered.

Yes, it's K11, Scarlatti's Sonata in Em.
Here is a video of Segovia playing it:


Somewhat unconventionally, Segovia plays the first movement only once, and the second one with the repeat. But who are we to argue?
