Scarlatti, Sonate K.141 - Martha Argerich

[@josephsmith3961]

I love the way she entered. Walks onstage, throws a tissue into the piano, sits down and IMMEDIATELY starts playing before the audience is done clapping. What a Chad.

[@RockinTheDub]

Absolute Chad. She walks in there like she owns the place lol

I'm an INSTANT fan. She walks up, tosses her handkerchief onto the piano sits and plays; no preliminaries, no posturing, no taking a moment to compose herself. She's on stage - ready!

[@SamuelColunga]

She’s like “I got things to do today, bruh,”

[@MikeWalls7829]

If you've never seen her before you're in for a treat, there's tonnes of other recordings of her and they're all equally classy, she's a true genius and I must crow bar in that I've seen her play this live, it was absolutely brilliant and flawless like it was effortless to her.

[@nemo227]

@@MikeWalls7829 Before I saw this on youtube I didn't know anything about her but now I'm an instant fan. My wife and I did attend a concert by Dubravka Tomsic in Carmel, California. Probably 30 years ago. We were delighted. I'm willing to be delighted again if Martha Argerich comes to play anywhere nearby. Waiting . . .

I initially skipped the beginning part, and after reading your comment I was like, "Wait a minute, let me go back." Then I laughed my mosquito bites off (internally of course), because she's so nonchalant about it. She's like "This is no big deal," and shrugs it off.
