#AntonioCastagna #DomenicoScarlatti #sonata
Dopo una lunga parentesi dedicata alla musica romantica torno al fascino e alla brillantezza della musica di Domenico Scarlatti che trovo sempre affascinante e coinvolgente.
After a long parenthesis dedicated to romantic music I return to the charm and brilliance of Domenico Scarlatti's music, which I always find fascinating and engaging.
Le 555 sonate, delle quali poche pubblicate durante la vita di Scarlatti, furono stampate in modo non sistematico nei due secoli e mezzo successivi. Scarlatti ha, tuttavia, attirato ammiratori di rilievo, tra cui Bach, Händel, Clementi, Mozart, Beethoven, Czerny, Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Verdi, Debussy, Bartók, Shostakovich, Casella, Poulenc, Messiaen e Schenker.
In questi brevi brani, costituiti generalmente di un solo movimento bipartito, Scarlatti si dimostrò pioniere di tecniche tastieristiche nuove per i suoi tempi, come arpeggi, note ribattute in agilità, incroci delle mani, ottave spezzate e percosse, doppie note: tutte difficoltà tecniche da padroneggiare progressivamente, a mano a mano che il compositore svela le potenzialità timbriche, melodiche e ritmiche della sua scrittura ricca e articolata. Dal punto di vista dello stile, le sue sonate sono caratterizzate da una rapidissima mobilità espressiva, e da una grande inventiva armonica, con l'impiego di accordi spesso sorprendenti.
Altri attributi distintivi dello stile di Scarlatti sono i seguenti:
L'influenza della musica popolare iberica (portoghese e spagnola). Un esempio è l'uso di Scarlatti del modo frigio e di altre inflessioni tonali più o meno estranee alla musica artistica europea.
L'influenza della chitarra spagnola, ravvisabile nelle note ripetute in modo rapido.
Affinità con lo stile galante.
La struttura della sonata. Quest'ultima, infatti, è di solito divisa in due sezioni di durata uguale, ognuna delle quali conduce ad un momento cardinale, che lo studioso Ralph Kirkpatrick ha definito "il punto cruciale" (crux), e che a volte è sottolineato da una pausa o fermata...
The 555 sonatas, few of which were published during Scarlatti's lifetime, were printed unsystematically over the next two and a half centuries. Scarlatti has, however, attracted notable admirers, including Bach, Handel, Clementi, Mozart, Beethoven, Czerny, Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Verdi, Debussy, Bartók, Shostakovich, Casella, Poulenc, Messiaen and Schenker. The Russian school of pianism has particularly valued these sonatas.
In these short pieces, generally consisting of a single bipartite movement, Scarlatti proved to be a pioneer of keyboard techniques that were new for his time, such as arpeggios, notes struck in agility, crossings of the hands, broken and struck octaves, double notes: all technical difficulties to be master progressively, as the composer gradually reveals the timbric, melodic and rhythmic potential of his rich and articulated writing. From the point of view of style, his sonatas are characterized by a very rapid expressive mobility, and by great harmonic inventiveness, with the use of often surprising chords.
Other distinctive attributes of Scarlatti's style are the following:
The influence of Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) popular music. An example is Scarlatti's use of the Phrygian mode and other tonal inflections more or less foreign to European art music.
The influence of the Spanish guitar, recognizable in the rapidly repeated notes.
Affinity with the gallant style.
The structure of the sonata. The latter, in fact, is usually divided into two sections of equal duration, each of which leads to a cardinal moment, which the scholar Ralph Kirkpatrick defined as "the crucial point" (crux), and which is sometimes underlined by a pause or stop...
Antonio Castagna graduated from IMP “G. Braga” of Teramo and, subsequently, he perfected himself with Maestro Franco Medori and Maestro Carlo Zecchi.
He has held numerous concerts and recitals in Italy and abroad . He has participated several times in RAI radio and television programs.
He played in Salzburg as part of the Salzburger Schlosskonzerte and in Paris, at the Italian Cultural Institute, as part of the “Hommage à LA FIGIA DI JORIO” event.
He toured Basel for the Consulate General of Italy.
At the invitation of the Italian Cultural Institute, he played in BRAZIL, in Rio de Janeiro, in the prestigious National Museum of Fine Arts.
He played, with the Teramo Trio, in Philadelphia (USA) in the Marshall Auditorium of Haverford College, in the Lincoln Hall of the Union League.
He was Director, from 1996 to 2012, of the I.S.S.M "Gaetano BRAGA" of Teramo. He was a piano teacher at the Conservatories of Foggia and Teramo.

In occasione della tua fantastica esecuzione delle composizioni di Domenico Scarlatti, ho appreso che questo compositore fu clavicembalista di corte della regina polacca Maria Casimiro durante la sua residenza a Roma (ho cercato su Wikipedia). Grazie, Antonio, per avermi permesso di ascoltare il tuo bellissimo modo di suonare il pianoforte. 👍 Cordiali saluti e buona salute - Eugene dalla Polonia.

Caro Eugene, ti ringrazio per il tuo ascolto attento e per la ricerca che hai fatto su Wikipedia. Non sapevo che Domenico Scarlatti fu clavicembalista di corte della regina polacca Maria Casimiro durante la sua residenza a Roma. Colgo l'occasione per salutarti cordialmente dall'Italia :-) Antonio

Carissimo Antonio. Sono tornata a postare e commentare su YT dopo una lunghissima assenza dovuta alla perdita del.mio adorato papà. Come puoi immaginare questo è il periodo più doloroso, duro e triste della mia vita. Vivere senza il mio amatissimo papà mi sembra ancora impossibile. Ma sono fortunata e grata a Dio per averlo avuto per così tanti anni e per aver avuto proprio questo meraviglioso essere umano come papà. Penso che tornare su YT ed interagire con tutti voi possa far parte del mio percorso per il ritorno ad una certa normalità. Anche se il percorso sarà lungo e doloroso. Ma la vita è anche questo. Amico mio caro, Maestro come sempre un privilegio poterti ascoltare. Mi hai regalato qualche minuto di grande serenità. La musica è pura meraviglia. Un ABBRACCIO e a presto. Renata 👍👏

[@AntonioCastagna]

Carissima Renata, più volte ho pensato a te intuendo in qualche modo che tu avessi delle difficoltà. Apprendo adesso della perdita del tuo caro papà e ti formulo le mie più sentite condoglianze. La vita è questa e le regole del tempo che passa sono implacabili. Capisco la tua tristezza e il momento difficile che stai vivendo. Ti sono vicino e ti abbraccio con tanto affetto :-) Antonio

[@renatalimarzi]

@@AntonioCastagna GRAZIE di vero cuore, Antonio. Si, purtroppo la.vita è anche questo e dobbiamo accettarlo, anche se vivere senza la presenza dinchi abbiamo tanto, così tanto amato è durissima. Ti abbraccio e ti ringrazio ancora. Renata

Wonderful performance Antonio. I wander how many sonatas D Scarlatti composed. This one is very beautiful. Thank you so much dear friend!

[@AntonioCastagna]

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them very much. Scarlatti was a prolific composer and composed about 500 harpsichord sonatas. Dear Carlos, I wish you a wonderful weekend :-) Antonio

[@igorigormusic2569]

This time, a wonderful performance of a barcon composition. What's fascinating to me is that you perform it completely in the style of whose composition you are performing. And this time I enjoyed the wonderful composition and masterful performance. I wish you all the luck.
