Those are impressively fast hand crossings, considering how far the left hand has to go.

[@davidlouie]

Thanks, this particular sonata is probably the most demanding in exactly the way you describe.

Great !! A jewel !!

[@daneberhardt2718]

Fantastic! Not many videos of people actually playing this on a harpsichord. Flawless and well-enunciated too!

[@davidlouie]

Thanks so much for listening and for your comments!

[@forcesoundtrack6899]

Perfect tempo, not too fast

[@davidlouie]

Thanks, glad you agree

After the WTC, I am now amazed by your Scarlatti recordings, Prof. Louie. I also delved into Szymon Laks’ piano compositions played by you and I really like them as well. I wish to see more of your exquisite recordings in the future! Thank you for sharing all of these gems with us! P.S. Thanks to Nahre Sol, I discovered your recordings a few years ago! I’m also very curious about your writings on music and I’m looking forward to reading your take on the tuning in Bach’s works!

Thank you for your kind words, Bati. I am pleased to be able to continue posting for appreciative listeners on YT, especially during these challenging times.

Hell of a good performance. I do play the same one on the guitar.
Thank you so much for this video

[@davidlouie]

Thank you so much. I don’t know what it sounds like on guitar, but probably wonderful. I’m curious…
