Best Video in my life. Your playing is an inspiration for me.

I found many tutorials about piano techniques, many of them very helpful, with wrist rotations etc. which was new forme, but you are the first who teaches this finger/hand movements like my American teacher showed me many years ago.

The quality of your videos are amazing! I like how you make tutorials about scarlatti, which is often an undiscovered gem for many. I am learning the scarlatti L383 now, maybe after that one, I will start with this one, it has always been a favourite of mine. I hope you find growth in your channel soon.

Классный видеоурок! И великолепное русское произношение, все понятно! 👍

You have a great understanding of this piece. Even the thrill that you used is very appropriate for the period. Your playing is also very accurate. This piece is actually not as easy as it looks.

Thank you for your tutorials, i have just found them, they are really great, because you are going into the detail, focusing on expression and very slowly with both hands separate, so I can work on this wonderful Scarlatti piece in a real time. So I can maybe try even more difficult pieces. Thanks for the sheet music, it is a big help!

[fionanogawa]

Thank you for an inspiring tutorial and such a pure performance of this piece. I'm inspired to try and learn it - thank you!

This is SO helpful with the nuances of this piece. The sheet music looks fairly easy but it is SO difficult to play this well and with the sensitivity and modulation and rubato it requires. Also, you have helped with the triplets which I found tricky at first. Thank you for posting this!

I took lessons from my teacher on this piece! He never satisfied with what I did with this piece. But, he never could point out what to do. Finally, I found your video, I listened to your analysis and also how you designed the direction of this piece. After I listened to your video, I got the idea what needs to be done. Then, I played it for my teacher. He said "he has nothing else to add, and satisfied with my performance!" In my mind, WTF, I paid you to help me to understand this piece but you could not help me. Actually, he is not the only useless teacher that I have. I have many of them. I think my way of learning should be like what you shown in the video, by visual. I also played this piece in my yearly recital with my piano friends, they were so impressed by my performance! Thx you very much for all your videos. Luckily, you like Scarlatti too.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon your tutorial. I love the different colours in your playing and the tips on touch and control. My story for this piece is loneliness as well, but that with realisation and acceptance and finding peace with it. Thanks for the reminder which made me think of my musical message.

Have been playing that Ab at 5:33 as a G for years. Glad I found this to correct it. Sounds so much better now

How do I use pedaling? When I don’t use it when it is not indicated in my sheet music it sounds too choppy. For example, it says not to play pedal from bar four on for a while.
