THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECORDING THIS - AND SHOWING THE SHEET MUSIC ALONG WITH YOUR KEYBOARD WORK IS REALLY AND TRULY A HUGE PLEASURE SO ONE CAN NOT ONLY LISTEN BUT READ AND WATCH ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, wow. That was NICE. I remember my mom playing this when I was a little girl. Anyway, I love the piece, this an outstanding performance, and I love the video and being able to follow the music. Bravo and thank you!
Stigandr Antonsson Actually, regarding this particular piece, I think that Mr. Barton brings out the dynamics in a much more pleasing way. For instance, during the repetition of the first section (starting from 0:32), in the right hand, listen how the second C and the D before the trill are connected. Barenboim just plays it all staccato.
I one time had a good deal of respect for Barenboim, but have gradually lost it over the years from his more recent renditions of what he plays (and conducts). It was not always the case.
Scarlatti junto con Bach son los dos mejores compositores para los pianistas principiantes e intermedios, enseñan muchísimo, muchas de sus obras ayudan de forma entretenida a desarrollar la técnica.
When performing this piece, I much prefer to keep measure 42 in strict time rather than slowing down the beat. Maybe just a slight pause before resuming the theme. Try it!
Love this piece and your performance of it. I am curious why in the LH in m18 and all similar measures you play I V III V instead of I V I V as written. Just artistic license, or are there other versions of the score?
nice! there are some consistent note errors though; in measures 14-17 and 18-20 you play a b instead of a g in the eft hand and in measures 57-59 you go up the c chord like in the previous section while the music is saying to repeat the c instead
Paul, I have been listening to these Scarlatti Sonatas that you are playing and reading the music at the same time. I consider myself an educated musician, and while I have no qualms whatever about the efficacy of your playing, I do about those printed editions that you are playing from. There appear to be distinct errors in the edition as I see it, and some of these have apparently even been acknowledged by you in your renditions. Would you consider using another edition for these, as some of these printed errors seem quite glaring.
Why does that one measure ccome up gray, and why aren't the successive measures showing high e, and then high g in the score? Or, over the years, in performance practice, people decided to add in the e and g?
Really lovely, but one question: why aren't you holding down the low bass notes at bar 14 and similar? Are you playing from a different score where they're staccato?
Are you changing the third note from a G to a B on purpose in measures 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, etc.? Was watching slowed down in hopes to figure out fingering for that specific lick, heh
The amount of articulations in scarlatti’s music is a completely different area of study entirely. I thought mozart was bad, but this shit is breaking my fingers
Scarlatti a diferencia de Bach y Handel si llego a tener y usar múltiples fortepianos, ya que la Infanta disponia de una bien surtida sala de música, por lo que es probable que muchas de sus sonatas fueran escritas para fortepiano.
Uh ... in the B section, where the subsidiary theme (2nd) appears in C, you should have played the highest note "C" as written and not attempted to rewrite the Scarlatti to conform with the parallel passage in the A section (in G). As my old professor said, back in 1975: "Scarlatti's keyboard did not have all those upper notes. If he had had those notes available, he would have written a different piece." Now my class does not get to see your otherwise compelling performance. Too bad.
"you should have played the highest note "C" as written and not attempted to rewrite the Scarlatti to conform with the parallel passage in the A section" Why?
Music is not black and white, do you even realize how many editions of these Scarlatti sonatas there are? Every edition has different notes, so the fact he played one “improvised” note is negligible. This is all improvisation, he didn’t attempt to “rewrite” anything
I never got an answer to my "why". If "authenticity" is the question, I think Scarlatti would find the modern obsession with the text very odd, and the idea that a performance should be ignored over a single note bordering on parody. Performance practice of his time involved extremely wide latitude for improvisation. So this absolutism in the service of authenticity is, ironically, inauthentic.
@@randykern1842 The upper notes were not on Scarlatti's keyboard, so ... uh ... Busoni edition (or whatever it is) be damned, right? Read the music that Mr.Barton shows and compare to what he plays, which is probably something from an old edition he learned from back in the day.
Those trills are so clean!
Your dynamics are always the best!
This format with the sheet and the keyboard is really good! :)
You are a wonderful artist Paul. Thanks for the pleasure you give.
One of my favourites of Scarlatti. Brillant playing
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECORDING THIS - AND SHOWING THE SHEET MUSIC ALONG
WITH YOUR KEYBOARD WORK IS REALLY AND TRULY A HUGE PLEASURE SO ONE CAN
NOT ONLY LISTEN BUT READ AND WATCH ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE this song
Love Scarlatti! So happy and joyful. Thanks for the inspiration to pick this piece up to learn and play.
I think this is one of the very few Scarlatti sonatas that actually have a recapitulation.
Love your stunning performance of this piece, Paul - bravo!🎹☀️🎵
no matter how many times I listen to this song... I just love it
A truly EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE - THANK YOU DOMENICO SCARLATTI AND PAUL BARTON!
I just watched Wim Winters' video, and I was stunned at this quick tempo, Paul.
Winters is a poor lunatic.
The beauty of this piece melt my heart🥺😭♥️
Beautifully played..
very, very, very good musical idea, excelent performance
Wow!!!! Paul!!!!!! This is so amazing!!!!! Super performance!!!!!!!!
Supper sound and technic.
my very favorite Scarlatti sonata, very beautifully rendered also :-)
Hear hear !!!
I’m jealous of your hand size! 😩 My hands look much more frantic and tense when playing this...they’re too small!
Lovely job, though! 👏👏👏
What a happy piece😄😄
Beautiful performance!
Love this one!
Wonderful, congratulations!
Bravo ! Excelente a tua interpretação ! Um abraço do Brasil
This piece used as a soundtrack in a movie called Wild Little Bunch. So matching with the movie!
love it
Thank you.
this is my favorite one
that really does cheer one up
Flawless!
Oh, wow. That was NICE. I remember my mom playing this when I was a little girl. Anyway, I love the piece, this an outstanding performance, and I love the video and being able to follow the music. Bravo and thank you!
Wonderful !!!♫♪
Genial!;;🎹🎶❤️👌
Comparing your Scarlatti to Barenboim's, you are better in my opinion.

The best of the best is Scott Ross
Bravo!!!!
Me fascino siempre Scarlatti y especialmente esta obra.Chopin lo admiraba fervorosamente.👀👏👏💎🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🍃

Ma préférée ... Raison inconnue . -:))
Excellent dynamic and interpretation, though the left hand of the bar #14,15,17,18,19,52,53,54,56,57 does not completely follow the sheet.

Certainly more bunched together than some of the performances I have heard. Very tight indeed. Whoever is playing that?
Nice piece I play this piece :)
This piece sounds like a song by Monteverdi :D
Love this piece and your performance of it. I am curious why in the LH in m18 and all similar measures you play I V III V instead of I V I V as written. Just artistic license, or are there other versions of the score?

Muito obrigada pelo presente. Chorei.
Seems a bit speed up or is it fps issue?

general trelane approves.

Can you please do a video of his sonata k 450 in g minor? I love that one and not many players perform it. :)
cool
You play b instead of g at the left hand in 0:20 I was doing the same mistake 😊 very fresh playing though!!

Randy Kern right?? Lol
please do a video on how to trill properly!
The beginning reminds me of La Chasse.

@@fiandrhi Because Scarlatti did not write those notes.
