How to Play Scarlatti | Sonata in E major K.380 [Tutorial]

[@Antune]

Any suggestions about what should be the next from Scarlatti?

[@m.walther6434]

First, thank You very much, I'm currently deep into Scarlatti and Your Tutorials are, well, inspirational, at least. I would like to learn from You K 434, especially what to do with bar 20-23. Anyway, it's been a pleasure to watch You playing and explaining.

[@Antune]

@@m.walther6434 Thank you for the comment! Scarlatti has been a big inspiration for me since I was a child, and I genuinely enjoy playing his music. Good to mention that I am not familiar with K434. I hope to make a video about it in the future but it’s hard to say when. Good luck and all the best!

[@m.walther6434]

@@Antune Thank You, I appreciate your fast answer. On second thought. K434 is very polyphonic, here and there, quite dramatic in it's 2nd part and has fancy, Spanish rhythms, I believe. Sounds motivating? I hope so. All the best.

Your version is one of my favorites because it is so dreamy and elegant; it makes me imagine being in Scarlatti's time walking the streets of a southern Spanish city in twilight as the day cools off and having a chance to peek into windows of houses along the street as they light their candles. Thank you for your tutorial! And your format of highlighting notes in different colors is really helpful! Suggestions for the next Scarlatti: would love to hear your interpretation and phrasing suggestions for either K.159 in C major or K. 55 in G major (lesser known but Horowitz did perform it). Btw, I purchased one of the upright pianos you demo'ed for Emil van Leenan!

Ah yes, Tiffany Poon's anthem

Dear sir, I think you're videos are great but can't you stop the camera from moving so much?

[@emmilyaw]

Thanks for creating this video. I love the way you explain and describe things in the tutorial, makes it very easy to digest and understand, as well as enjoyable to learn. I am wondering, what level is this piece, I always want to learn and play this, but I don't think my skills is sufficient to tackle the techniques yet, but would try this one day, definitely! Thanks again! I just subscribed to your channel as well. Oh, I love you piano too! :-)

[@Antune]

Thanks for the kind words! In my experience, it is one of the more comfortable sonatas of Scarlatti, technically. Of course, there are endless possibilities and it can be musically very complex. Before jumping into this one, I suggest playing 1 or 2 inventions by Bach for example. Or you can try another sonata by Scarlatti (K.1 or K.9). After that, it should be okay. And still, I truly believe, when you love a piece, technical challenges don’t bother you as much. Good luck!

[@emmilyaw]

@@Antune Thanks for the suggested pieces, but I think I will jump straight to this K380 as I do love this piece. I am not a classical pianist, just a self-learner who likes nice sounding pieces (any genre incl. melodic classical pieces) to play solo and/or any songs to sing (with self-accompaniment). Thanks again!

[@beatlessteve1010]

Yes this is my favorite Sonata by Scarlatti, of course my preference is played by Horowitz..lol😂 and now hearing you teach it, I really enjoy your rendition.What I think about when I hear this piece is a royal court, like the announcement of Czar Nicholas entering the hall...or Queen Victoria.

[@John-uv5wy]

Thank you for the tutorial, it was very insightful. I'm looking forward to more videos.

[@Antune]

Many thanks! I hope you enjoy my future videos too. All the best!

[@kirktaylor8144]

So glad to have found your work, sir! I love the short interpretive scenes like walking in the plaza or cornfield. I am a “restarting” pianist, having just retired from teaching mathematics for 30 years, and your work is so helpful. Have a wonderful day.

[@Antune]

Many thanks! I hope you enjoy the new videos to come too! All the best

[@fareedalkarkhi4333]

Wow great demonstration, glad that I found your Channel

Beautiful outdoors place! Where is it?

[@Antune]

I shoot them in The Netherlands, where I also live. :)

[@15837pawimomo]

Please make tutorial video for Scarlatti K 450

[@chris6291]

Thanks so much! Wonderful rendition of this piece and the score with fingerings enormously helpful! This is definitely my next project piece and your instruction will help take me there.

[@Antune]

Happy to hear it is helpful. Thank you for letting me know! Good luck with your next project!

[@yesidsanchez-y6z]

Best tutorials ever, every detail is just sweet

[@ryanbpictures]

Do you use the pedal to connect the notes?

[@Antune]

I connect the notes with fingers and use the pedal for colouring the sound.

[@hsm906]

Any tips on playing the 2nd bar? It's supposed to be an imitation of the bird's chirp, but I'm struggling to do it beautifully.

[@vichalen294]

Always great to get ideas about articulation and dynamics. This will help me a great deal as I polish up my playing this on guitar. Definitely my favorite Scarlatti piece

[@jh_sports]

Except for the ones that literally *everyone* knows (such as beethoven‘s moonlight sonata), this was the first piano piece I really loved and appreciated, so it‘s not even wrong to say that this sonata is what got me into classical music. I love the way you share the thoughts and story behind your interpretations, it adds so much to these (already awesome) tutorials

[@jennifergoldin8179]

Thank you so much. I enjoyed your tutorial

[@taxol2]

Dear Eva, many thanks!

[@ekwofie1530]

I can't load this video, is it still available?

[@Antune]

Strange! It is indeed available.

[@ekwofie1530]

@@Antune I tried it today and it works (YES!), maybe it was a network problem. Really looking forward to following this tutorial! I learned so much from the clair de lune tutorial, the image of water really helped me alot. Thank you very much!

There is no better or better pianist on KZbin than you, thank you!
