"What is that strange instrument he is playing?" - D. Scarlatti

[@nateben-horin3507]

I've listened to and played through tons of Scarlatti, but you've posted a few on your channel that I've never heard before! Love it, keep it up

[@user-qm1xk9xk2w]

what have you played?

[@cooltrades7469]

@@user-qm1xk9xk2w The piece '' Tons'' by Scarlatti . Simple ;-) . Actually played through it , that would be like first reading ....someting . He states all this clearly . Although the piece might have benn called '' Tones'' and the author Scar Latey . Would meake sense . So we might look at a differnt composer and type of music . Just an ideea ...

This sonata sounds like you're climbing a mountain.

[@Targeted_1ndividual]

Climbing a mountain is much more mundane than this sonata. Unless you slip and fall down a shear and break your leg.

It was only a few months ago I discovered Scarlatti.. and I've been enjoying learning several of his sonatas since then... this one though, might cost me a while... a long while... certainly to persuade my hands to go like that! That was wicked!

[@ydva1317]

perfect playing

[@kryzpygnwg7706]

this is absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing and please post more of scarlatti's

[@thekeyoflifepiano]

I will try.

[@handavid6421]

Scarlatti's genius shows here

[@utvpoop]

I wonder if this sonata inspired Hamelin to write his D minor étude "Ommagio à Scarlatti", or at least it's one of them

[@paulograca3937]

Amazing piece

[@barney6888]

I liked that very much.

[@kofiLjunggren]

Fantastic technique!

[@johnb6723]

Cor blimey, he's going a fair old lick with those 8th notes!

Quavers to the rest of the English-speaking world.

[@harrybarrow6222]

This was wonderful. I had not heard this piece before. But it was composed for harpsichord, not piano. I would love to hear it played on that.

[@TheTangojorge]

el más español de los italianos!🤗

[@gigogrom216]

There is a brilliant harpsichord performance of this sonata by Comparone

[@Alix777.]

Staier is the best in this one

[@secondchairmusic]

My all time favorite Scarlatti sonata!! One of the few that I can play! (albeit not as good as you)

[@thekeyoflifepiano]

It's not my playing. I left the credit in the video's description.

[@rtreno]

Please do the repeats.

[@thekeyoflifepiano]

I am not going to do repeats. The reason being: KZbin promotes the videos based on the percentage watched. If you want the full recording, I almost always leave the link in the description of the video. I see this channel as a way to promote interesting music that people have glossed over, not a library. There are already many other channels that are great libraries of music.

[@rtreno]

@@thekeyoflifepiano Thanks for explaining! I never would have thought of it that way.

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

it's actually his most vacuous

[@isaacbeen2087]

ahh

[@Hazel_Abatoir]

Agreed

[@bobschaaf2549]

True. Fast, but there's not much else going on.

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

Too busy, not at all "exhilarating".
