This was a nice and sweet enjoyable performance. I usually have my doubts about Scarlatti but I think it’s because so many pianists play it with such rush that one can barely grasp what’s happening. Hearing it played on the harpsichord in a nice and elegant way gives me a refreshing look at Scarlatti, a look I had not seen before.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I agree, and the two things I am opposed to are playing baroque music on piano instead of harpsichord, and playing too fast :-)
Doubts about SCARLATTI! ????
@@paulmauffrayScarlatti’s music is glorious above and beyond the instrument. I think Scarlatti would have been blown away the know his music was appreciated and being played three centuries after it was written, regardless of whether on harpsichord, piano or guitar. Boxing up music into one genre/epoch/instrument is probably a sure fire way to kill off interest in it.
@@Maisiewuppp in fairness, it is easier to criticize from the side lines or the couch than to actually perform or produce content. I would more gladly engage in this discussion with a musician instead of an anonymous commenter who seems to have no identity nor any uploads. The nuances of interpretation are far too many to be summarized succinctly in comment section here. I agree that Scarlatti's music is glorious, which is why I am performing and recording it on so far at least 5 different harpsichord's. Each instrument and acoustic space gives one a natural feeling in the fingers and in the ears of what fits right in that moment. In closing, don't just talk of your love for Scarlatti. Show me. We look forward to seeing your performances which I will gladly share in the comments of my own videos for comparison. Thanks
Beautiful playing! It's so wonderful to hear this sonata on the harpsichord. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
My favorite instrument by Far
mine too :-)
Everything's beautiful about this video. You got me in tears.
Aw, thank you so very much!
I love it the Clavicembalo sound ❤😁🥰
me too ;-)
Such a lovely performance!! I always thought harpsichord sounded more alive compared to the piano.
Superb. And look at those carved legs, wow!
It's very unusual to find an Italian style harpsichord with two manuals! The Italian school of harpsichord making was generally very conservative with early and late instruments very similar: one keyboard with two stops only, 2 x 8' and rarely anything else. The box slides they used for the jacks were hard to make but tended to last forever and the thin case construction braced against the solid bottoms also lasted well although with a little too much flex which meant tuning usually lasted only a few hours at most. Still, a fine instrument for performance of Scarlatti.
Yes, you're right. Most Italian harpsichords I have seen were single manual. This, however, was a newly made harpsichord by Vit Bebar, so perhaps he built it as a double-manual for a special reason. It was a fantastic instrument!
WHAT AN ELEGAN & EPIC INSTRUMENT !!!!
Extraordinario, Bravo
Thank you very much!
It’s played perfectly, well done!
@@PaulM-dl2qk Yeah yeah, so much sonatas… My fav one is actually 531, it sounds amazing :)
@@nonsense111-i6rTry K497
Thank you very much. I wish I could play all 550 Scarlatti sonatas :-)
I saw a hillbilly play this perfectly, it was a perfect example of dont judge a book by its cover
:-D
This is epic
Thank you so very much. :-)
Excellent! The instrument is too cute. I want to nibble on the keys because they look like they're made of chocolate.
I love your comment, but nibbling on the keys is something I have never been tempted to do :-D
Well played!
Thank you!
👏Ciao from Italy💐.
Bella Italia, home of Scarlatti and beautiful harpsichords :-)
Where is this fancy library?
That is in the Mendel Museum / Augustinian Monastery in Brno, Czech Republic.
@@paulmauffray thank you for your music
Cómo suena el teclado superior????
You can hear the upper manual keyboard in my similar videos at the Augustinian Library of the Bach Inventions #1 in C major, #3 in d minor, #6 in E major, #14 in B-flat major, and here in the Scarlatti Sonata K. 11 in c minor

@@paulmauffray !!!gracias!!!
Interesantisimo me voy a dormir tarde.
Really I do want to feel the weight of the key~press, such a crisps tone-playing finger in clarity tempo.
Thank you, if that was a compliment :-)
An important aspect of playing this on harpsichord is that you are truly limited in how fast it can go. I too absolutely need to connect with how each key is plucking each string while also having the space to add my own ornaments. I hope you like it and wish you could experience how wonderful that instrument felt to play.
I found it a played a little ploddingly and I am not referring to the tempo which was fine.
while sometimes I might play this slightly faster, that was the way it felt best then for that instrument andin that acoustic. Be sure to share a link to your own interpretation too ;-)
