Portuguese single-manual harpsichord by Robert Hicks after Calisto
A=415Hz (temperament: Bach/Louie)
I’ m studying this piece for my exam . Your performances is the best I ever heard
A really beautiful performance at the chosen tempo; thank you very much, and bravissimo.
I particularly enjoyed watching the way you have followed Scarlatti’s very precise and slightly tricky hand-change instructions in bars 11-16 in the first half and the parallel section bars 47-52 in the second; these are simplified by almost all pianists on RUclips, including the professionals.
I would be interested to hear you play this sonata on a two-manual harpsichord.
Thank you for your comments and perceptive observations, much appreciated!
I'm surprised and enlightened by the fingering used for the closing phrase! 2-5 seems so much more natural than 1-4 😲
This rendition is so darned moving. The tempo allows me to revel in the sonata's richness and beauty 😊👍♥
Thank you for the comment.
I’ m studying this piece for my exam at the conservatory. I think your performance is the best I ever heard. Very very nice !! 😀😀😀
Many thanks for your comments, and best of luck with your exam!
@@davidlouie thank you very much 🤞😀
Great!!! Very good!
You are a great musician
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Scarlatti!
Did you like Michellangeli's rendition of K. 27? It's so fast i don't have time to appreciate it. :D
It’s my pleasure to share this wonderful music on an authentic Iberian harpsichord. The version you may be referring to is probably “pianistic” and doesn’t observe the composer’s rather awkward hand-crossing instructions, that seem to preclude a very fast tempo.
@@davidlouie I think also Michelangeli crosses his hands and his faster tempo is only a question of (his) taste. But I am shure, he used the edition of
Alessandro Longi from Ricordi, like still many pianists use, also Argerich in the famos Toccata, where she than misses so many original notes.
It is verry good, trat You use the old manuscript. Thank You! Also Your playing is great and delicate!
Il like this Sonata as all of Scarlatti. But this one especially with the seven(!) identically repeted bars in the second part, which is unic in "classical" music as I think?
Is a little bit lower in afination rigth?, D its rigth hand, and M is left?
Yes that’s correct
Your tempo is rather slow. But I love your rendition. Thak you si much.
Are these Scarlatti sonatas available on CD? Thanks.
I’ve not done so, but many others certainly have made CDs!
I meant your versions. :-) Happy New Year.
Haha, I should’ve understood what you meant! Happy New Year.
Does it help to know that right hemisphere of the brain rules left side of the body and left hemisphere rules the right side AND that right brain is emotional and left brain is the rational one. So , in the day , in situation where one have the choice , it is interesting to watch which hand is mostly used while talking , holding a coffee mug, a cigaret etc.....
For example , my first coffee in the morning, I noticed that I have a tendency to always drink using my right hand . At 4 pm , at the coffee shop, end of the day , relaxing , I "taste " it using my left hand .
Here, playing italian harpsichord , there is no hand choice possibility.
Interesting. For Scarlatti the fascination seems to be “jesting with Art” - that’s how he described these compositions. Had he known about the science he may have found it curious.
Its sad how scarlatti didnt get the fame he diserve
Actually he was very famous in his day after his music spread to England, France, and German speaking countries. He had a big influence on later generations of keyboard composers through Clementi and Czerny and even Brahms, who had Scarlatti in his collection of manuscripts. But maybe you mean he’s not as famous as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven 🤣!!
Does that convolute your brain to cross hands?
That’s a good way to look at it!
Very good. Pianists play this sonata too fast.
That may be often true, and if so, they may be ignoring Scarlatti’s very specific hand-crossing instructions, and substituting something easier!
@@davidlouie Whoa, I had no idea about the hand role-reversal in measures 13-14! I bet you're right that most players choose the simpler route. Thanks for playing what Scarlatti intended! I enjoyed your performance and learned something to boot.
