How to Play Scarlatti | Sonata in D minor K.141 [Tutorial]

Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Sonata in D minor, K.141 by Domenico Scarlatti.
I will tell you about phrasing, timing, pedaling, and then we will put everything together.
Before learning this sonata, I highly recommend exercising the repetition technique to avoid struggling with it later on when you want to increase the speed.
This video will show and explain how to implement this technique properly.
You can download the sheet music from the link below, where I wrote down the fingerings.
I believe it will help you play it more comfortably, as the fingerings play a crucial role in this sonata.
I hope you will enjoy it!

Your videos are unique. Nobody in Youtube teaches so detail like what you did...and also gives reasoning! Great video!

Woah this is soo good, I love the sound of this piece and this tutorial is literally masterclass. I'm finishing this piece and I am only grade 5 and 12 years old.

I so much appreciate your work in this video 👏👏👏 It’s so great to be able to have an opportunity to see how you step by step explain how to successfully tackle this sophisticated piece 🎶😌🙏

Awesome. There's so many crap tutorials out there where the pianist goes on talking about nothing for 10 minutes or says obvious thing (*ahem* Josh Wright *ahem*). You on the other hand, excellent, real, original and useful advice. Thanks a lot.

Next step, use the same to play that Chopin waltz.

PS: That POV camera is really helpful to understand your lessons. Thanks!

4:41 that is SOOO my aunts piano. Sounds great but almost unplayable because of how heavy the keys are

[CatnipGameZone]

Great video!! Really helped me with the repetition part and the other bits! Just wondering what can I do if my piano is not responding quick enough on the repetition part? I am 100% sure that it is my piano because I can play perfectly on other pianos.

[zachpuller]

I actually blame every piece I can't play on the piano, so that works out.

I'm getting this on a t-shirt :-)

Thanks for the input! Greetings from Germany, I came here because I can play this piece on a Grand Piano from my children's school and on a Synthesizer, but I tried a Clavinova video I couldn't do so well, I tried a Roland FP30x more or less, and a digital MP7se that They are the ones I have at home but here the action is better but I can't be as fluent either, the keys of the Clavinova are not even graduated and they all weigh down to 90 Grams!! and very slow, those of the Kawai have a static weight below 70 Grams and I know that some Steinways have only 50 Grams in the C4 for fast advanced classical repertoire like this one!! Do you know of any digital piano that responds quickly like these? that at least come close? I've seen accomplished pianists try to do this on Digital pianos and they can't do as well as acoustic! How does it happen to me, what is it due to? I know the mechanisms are different, but why do digital pianos make them so heavy if acoustic pianos are generally like that? I can't afford to have an acoustic so I keep practicing at home with a Digital piano, do you know the wood actions of loa kawai ca99 for example? I would appreciate your attention 🙂
