Only a small fraction of Scarlatti's compositions were published during his lifetime; Scarlatti himself seems to have overseen the publication in 1738 of the most famous collection, his 30 Essercizi ("Exercises"). These were rapturously received throughout Europe, and were championed by the foremost English writer on music of the eighteenth century, Dr. Charles Burney.

Mozart wrote 18 complete keyboard sonatas for the "piano" of his time (which was not, strictly speaking, the modern pianoforte). There is also a traditional "19th" sonata which consist of two separate works usually performed as a complete sonata. You can find all 19 of them, chronologically, in both MIDI and MP3 form at: http://www.sdrodrian.com/mozart/sonatas/
It is not certain that any one man "established" sonata-allegro form. It developed organically, over time, from the simpler a-b-a tertiary form. Embellishments on the main theme in the "b" section gradually became the more adventurous development section of the true sonata-allegro. Most of Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas did not adhere to what Haydn and Mozart would have recognized as a sonata-allegro form.
Sonata K. 120 & K. 141 are known as some of the most difficult ones. I've played them before and they are very confusing.
