    « Vivi felice » (Vivez heureux). Ce sont les derniers mots qui préfacent l'unique recueil des pièces publiées par Scarlatti.
    Un voeu chaleureux : plus, c'est un ami qui parle. Formule surprenante quand on pense aux dédicaces des maîtres de l'époque, les « très humbles et très obéissants serviteurs » des puissants de ce monde, ou encore quand on pense aux trois lettres « S.D.G. » dont Jean Sébastien Bach paraphait ses partitions plaçant délibérément son œuvre sous le seul signe de la gloire de Dieu. Une formule aussi moderne que l'œuvre qu'elle préface, simple, directe, c'est l'esprit même de Scarlatti. Une oeuvre roborative, sans états d'âme, sans théories, faite pour le plus grand plaisir de jouer. Elle nécessite une technique solide, mais c'est une oeuvre lumineuse : claire par son écriture et sa construction, d'une incroyable imagination thématique et rythmique, et surtout d'un charme et d'une maîtrise du développement harmonique.
    -
    De toute l'histoire de la musique, c'est l'une des oeuvres les plus imposantes par sa dimension. Son exécution ne représente pas moins de trente-quatre heures de musique. Pour le seul clavier, c'est trois fois ce qu'ont écrit Couperin ou Schumann, deux fois la durée de l'oeuvre de Chopin ou Beethoven. Il n'y a que Bach qui atteigne de telles dimensions, encore faut-il ajouter l'œuvre d'orgue à celle qu'il a consacré au clavecin. Ce monument de la musique pour le clavier n'est formé que de courtes pièces : quelques minutes (la plus longue en a sept, la plus courte à peine deux). Scarlatti juxtapose plus qu'il ne développe, dans un foisonnement de matériaux thématiques et rythmiques.
    -
    Autre curiosité : la quasi-totalité des pièces est écrite selon un schéma identique, le plus simple qui soit - la forme binaire. Les sonates se Composent de deux parties sensiblement égales, qu'il est prévu de répéter ; la première se termine le plus souvent à la dominante, la seconde toujours à la tonique, et les séquences qui terminent ces deux parties sont comparables. Les exceptions sont peu nombreuses. Scarlatti, grand pourvoyeur d'idées musicales, ne semble pas se préoccuper de renouveler les formes de son époque.
    -
    En revanche, ce qui concerne les rythmes et les modulations est stupéfiant d'imagination. Non seulement Scarlatti intègre avec bonheur ce qui se faisait alors, mais il renouvelle complètement les habitudes de son temps, introduisant des rythmes populaires, jouant sur des contrastes sonores, transformant le clavecin en véritable orchestre, poussant le plan harmonique de ses compositions dans des régions inhabituelles. Scarlatti trouve comme par jeu des modulations subtiles qui ne seront reprises que beaucoup plus tard ; il introduit par l'artifice des acciaccatures des notes étrangères à l'harmonie classique, créant ainsi des objets sonores inattendus. Il possède enfin l'art de surprendre son auditeur par des modulations sans préparation.
    -
    Il est difficile de comprendre comment un tel monument de la musique pour le clavier ait dû attendre plus de deux cents ans pour être enfin livré au public dans son intégralité. C'est hélas le sort que cette musique partage avec la plupart du répertoire baroque, mal servi au XIXe siècle et le plus souvent mal aimé jusqu'à nos jours. Au XVIIIe siècle, hormis l'édition des trente sonates faite à Londres de son vivant, les éditeurs, qu'ils soient français, anglais 'ou italiens, n'ont pratiquement pas édité l'œuvre. de Scarlatti. Il n'existait que de rares anthologies, des transcriptions, et des compositeurs, pourtant bien intentionnés, comme Thomas Roseingrave ou Charles Avison, complétaient les rares sonates publiées par leurs propres œuvres, ce qui ne contribuait pas à servir les chefs-d'oeuvre du compositeur.
    La situation changera peu au cours du XIXe siècle. Un plus grand nombre de sonates seront éditées, mais les pianistes qui sont à l'origine de ces publications, comme Czerny en 1839, ou plus tard Hans von Bülow, Busoni ou Tausig, n'ont pas hésité à mettre ces sonates au « goût du jour », ajoutant des notes, des articulations, des indications de nuances qui le plus souvent dénaturent les oeuvres qu'elles voulaient faire connaître.
    -
    La première publication quasi intégrale date de 1906. C'est l'oeuvre d'Alessandro Longo, compositeur italien, qui l'a réalisée pour les éditions Ricordi. Présentée dans sa véritable dimension, ce fut l'édition de référence pendant cinquante ans. Mais cette édition n'était pas non plus sans désinvolture. Longo en particulier a bouleversé l'ordre des sonates qui figurent dans les copies manuscrites, les groupant en « suites », faisant disparaître non seulement le sentiment des étapes de composition mais la notion de couplage des sonates, une notion essentielle qui n'est réapparue que cinquante ans plus tard grâce aux travaux de Ralph Kirkpatrick. Suivant les mauvaises habitudes prises par ses prédécesseurs, Longo a, par ailleurs, surchargé son édition d'indications arbitraires concernant le phrasé, les nuances, etc. Ces modifications, en particulier celles qui concernent les harmonies, ont généralement été dans le sens d'un appauvrissement de ce que Scarlatti avait composé.
    -
    Comme on peut l'imaginer, l'interprétation des sonates de Scarlatti fut à l'image de ce qu'était l'édition Longo. Pendant des années, mis à part quelques belles exceptions (les enregistrement de Wanda Landowska, ceux de Vladimir Horowitz en tête), les sonates de Scarlatti furent plutôt mal servies, on les présentait en guise d'apéritif, au début d'un concert, pour mettre en appétit les auditeurs, attendre l'arrivée des retardataires, se chauffer les doigts ou jauger son public. Elles servaient aussi à l'étude : « ces morceaux maudits qui vous ont si souvent empêché de dormir, qu'un élève sans pitié recommence indéfiniment à l'étage contigu au vôtre » (Marcel Proust parlant de Scarlatti dans Sodome et Gomorrhe).
    -
    Mal éditée, mal traitée, son oeuvre posait également des énigmes qui ne sont toujours pas résolues. Il n'existe par exemple aucun manuscrit autographe de Scarlatti pour ces sonates. On dispose certes de manuscrits, mais ils sont dus à des copistes. Il existe plusieurs copies relativement comparables, reliées aux armes de la maison d'Espagne. Elles sont actuellement conservées en Italie aux bibliothèques de Venise et de Parme. En revanche, le texte autographe demeure introuvable...si toutefois il a existé. L'authenticité, mais surtout la chronologie des sonates reste matière à discussion. *(Suite du commentaire : voir ci-dessous)*

    • @classicalmusicreference
      @classicalmusicreference  4 года назад +5

      (suite du commentaire) Autre énigme, celle des conditions dans lesquelles les sonates ont été composées. On pense que la plupart d'entre elles ont été écrites au Portugal et en Espagne : Scarlatti était Maître de Musique de la Princesse Maria Barbara de Bragance, fille du Roi du Portugal puis Reine d'Espagne. Mais Scarlatti aurait pu tout aussi bien emmener avec lui des compositions faites lors de sa brillante carrière en Italie, avant de s'exiler. Pourquoi cet exil, d'ailleurs ? Quelle force pousse Scarlatti à quitter son pays natal à l'âge de cinquante ans et pour toujours ? De fait, il abandonne sa famille paternelle, une Italie en pleine effervescence musicale, une carrière brillante d'interprète et de compositeur d'opéras. On sait trop peu de choses sur lui pour pouvoir répondre, mais les raisons de son départ sont sans doute plus psychologiques que financières. Il est certain que l'apparition de son oeuvre magistrale correspond à ce départ. Il s'est agi sans doute d'un exil heureux : sa relation avec Maria Barbara fut d'une constance et d'une fidélité exemplaire, et il avait l'estime de son entourage. Anobli, il fondera une famille... et pourtant un silence presque total entoure son existence jusqu'à sa mort. Il n'y a guère que son ami le chanteur italien Farinelli - il jouait également un rôle musical prépondérant à la cour d'Espagne - qui ait laissé quelques témoignages sur lui, c'est en tout cas grâce à lui que les sonates copiées et reliées sont finalement parvenues en Italie, à la mort de la Reine.

      Avec la célébration du tricentenaire de sa naissance en 1986, Scarlatti sort enfin du purgatoire, notamment grâce à trois éléments indispensables à la connaissance de cette oeuvre monumentale :
      1- Le livre de Ralph Kirkpatrick date de 1953, sa traduction française a été faite en 1982 (Lattès Ed.), ouvrage de référence : c'est l'ordre du catalogue de Kirkpatrick qui sera utilisé pour l'intégrale.
      2- L’édition complète des sonates : établie par Kenneth Gilbert, préparées dans les années 70 (le dernier volume date de 1983) (Heugel & Cie.). C'est elle que Scott Ross a suivie pour ses enregistrements.
      3- L’intégrale des sonates de Scarlatti a été enregistrée par Scott Ross entre juin 1984 et novembre 1985. L'édition d'Erato comprend trente-quatre disques compacts.
      L’intégrale ainsi que de nombreuses informations sont à découvrir en exclusivité sur CLASSICAL MUSIC REFERENCE RECORDING channel.

    I listen to Scott Ross recordings of Scarlatti nearly every day for a few years now and I find them extremely inspiring, mind-refreshing and intellectually stimulating, to the point that I would consider myself addicted to them ;) What I love the most about Scarlatti is that his pieces sound so pure, straightforward, contain no emotional exaggerations, which I think gives a freedom to interpret and experience the music in many different ways while performing or listening. A huge thank you for this upload!

    Bravo Scott Ross! Italy meets the Iberian Peninsula, and never was there a more glorious meeting. I first heard Scarlatti--I think--at a recital by the great harpsichordist Ralph Kirkpatrick at Texas Tech in 1966-1967. If it wasn't there and then, it was as soon as I could get a copy of Kirkpatrick's great Deutsche Gramophon album. I've been crazy about Scarlatti's music ever since. Those who love this stuff might also want to hear the music of his pupil, Padre Antonio Soler. Aside from Scarlatti's father Antonio, there was a now forgotten brother Pietro Scarlatti. According to Edward Tatnall Canby, only a set of Pietro's toccatas survive (See his notes for the wonderful Nonesuch album EIGHTEEN CENTURY ITALIAN HARPSICHORD MUSIC). Those who want to hear the original sound might like Martin Souter's renditions of Handel and Scarlatti on the Kirckman harpsichord on Isis Records. The sound on this recording is very close to the sound of this original instrument of the period, and Scott Ross' playing is excellent.

      @@miguellunagrande6529 You are correct in terms of who is creator and who is facilitator. Art, however, is an eco-systematic process. Without the paper and tools to write scores, the instruments to perform, the performers to translate and train to understand and perform the scores, the audience to hear, the auditory facility of the human mind and body to to receive and analyze the sounds, the mental capabilities of the composer to write ..and on...sounds do not matter. Be thankful that Scarlatti existed, had the capabilities to write these works and that someone like Ross took the time and energy to perform these works-or for that matter anyone in your lifetime.

      @@hapla86 Ross didn't have an high opinion of Gleen Gould, and for good reason. Gould was a brilliant technician, but he was in fact off the mark in almost everything he did. The only reason his Bach recordings were successful is that he essentially played piano like an harpsichord.

    If I am not mistaken, I think that Ross was the first person to commercially record all the sonatas. I recall as early as 84 looking for the complete recordings of these wonderful works and at first latched onto Gilbert Rowland's steady releases of all the sonatas on Keyboard Records, which he didn't complete till the late 80's.

    Like the keyboard music of J.S Bach this music is very very real and is built to last and last. Thank you so much for the recording. Although the music could be pigeon holed as "baroque" there is a sense that this will not do because of the way it stretches out and out beyond that time.

    I agree with the compliments others have made about Ross's tempi, which always seem to me to be perfect. For example, I just listened to a few other contemporary harpsichord recordings of the K. 1, all of which were much faster than Ross's. It's true that doing this makes the music more exciting, but it can also acquire a feeling of the relentless, so that, at least to me, the charm of the music gets strangled.
