Instead of using the traditional sustain pedal with a tremolo technique I used the 4th harmonic pedal invented by Denis de La Rochefordière. This new pedal allows controllable sympathetic resonance - even when playing staccato - which helps colour keyboard music written for harpsichord when played on the modern piano.

Performance tempo depends, in part, on the repetition responsiveness of your piano action. The new FEURICH pianos have super-fast repetition, if you have the opportunity to test a recent model I recommend you do so. www.feurich.com

How the guitar influenced Scarlatti it is very evident. The harmonic difficult is his style. A splendid example of his musical gift.

[@randykern1842]

I love the pedal markings in Baroque music....

[@williamgriebenow8193]

Crescendo and pianissimo to fortissimo etc. on my harpsichord... (Actually Liszt was good guy enough to write legato-pedal on the sheets for an organ piece)

[@lanceyang2053]

Classical is better

[@ruperttmls7985]

sarcasm?

[@LeonardoLLeuci]

Part of Baroque music was allowing performers to interpret the music, so while there was no pedal and dynamics were far and few between, I think it is perfectly reasonable to say we have those things now and should utilize them in order to interpret the music while also not taking away from the composers intentions. I don’t believe any of the artistic choices made here detract from the composition’s stand-alone beauty.

[@jeremydyar7566]

@@LeonardoLLeuci my teacher would disagree.

[@handznet]

You have played this one absolutely perfect. The piece has a really nice vibe, sounds like something much younger written in a bit of old fashioned style.

[@Music4ibc]

I'm curious ... since the metronome was not invented until Beethoven's time ... and it was not customary for composers in Scarlatti's time to really place "tempo" markings on their pieces - how do we know that it was to be played this fast? especially since this is on a piano with a quick-action response - with expression and piano/ forte - and not a Harpsichord ... which was not customary in Scarlatti's period?

[@jose4877]

It's the modern pianists' desire to astonish others with their virtuoso skills and show off, nothing else. With few exceptions, I typically don't care for this kind super fast virtuoso tempos.

[@Ben-ik2bb]

While Baroque instruments were different, the guitar was significantly more developed than the keyboard instruments. Scarlatti composed this and most of his 555 sonatas while in Spain and he was highly influenced by Spanish guitar music and often imitated it on the keyboard. Repetition like this is common in Spanish guitar music, so it is reasonable to assume one can play at this tempo.

[@nmnmnm9509]

approximately with correct speed ( although i believe it can be a little slower than it ). Indeed playing 4 black notes constantly must make a natural rhythm. baroque musicians could play fast ( even in folk music you can find fast pieces ) but with those instruments they played some sloppy and without clarity. but they could play. They could play tri notes therefore it can't be very hard for them.

[@sarthasiris]

well, because, "presto" was wirtten on the side of his partitions. "presto" means fast in Music theory. Simple as that, right?

[@espressonoob]

José yes I agree until there starts being people like Wim Winters who think it's ok to half speed everything with a metronome, then you just get unmusical garbage. I'll take a lang lang over a robot.

0:09 How did Scarlatti think of changing the tone of the tone in the tonic triad? Did Scarlati just sat and said: “Hmmm, this accompaniment is too primitive. I will shift the tertz tone. In any case, it will be played quickly. It's so individual!” or he shift that note just because?

He was influenced by the dissonant harmonies of Spanish guitar music.
