Scarlatti Sonata in D minor K.517 - KEYBOARD WITH SCORE

READ MORE BELOW⬇Played on FEURICH 218 grand piano with the new 4th Harmonic Pedal invented by Denis de La Rochefordière.

*Please note: due to the difficulty of bringing the left hand instantaneously from the top to the bottom of the keyboard in numerous places I take some of the notes written for left hand with the right hand.

Such an incredible rendition! It's a pleasure to watch and listen to.

This reminds me of so many years ago, when I had to study this piece myself.

I'm a Bach fanboy. But Scarlatti is my bias-wrecker! 🤣😍

[klaasklapsigaar]

Simply fantastic.
I wish I had half the agility in my left hand as you have.

[EmilianoManna]

One of my favorites, and extremely valid also as a teaching piece.
Scarlatti's corpus is an immense treasure trove of wonderful music. I suggest you to look also at the lesser played Sonatas, extremely worthy repertoire.

0:32 I'm always delighted to hear the Spanish influences in Scarlatti's music

[Funkensturme]

Not only it is a great composition. but the writing is very elegant for the playing, which is something often overlooked.

[JesseWright]

Honestly, I do well to tie my shoes. Amazing.

Every composition teacher ever: parallel 5ths and 8ths are bad and avoidable and you will burn in hell forewer if you accidentally write one.
Scarlatti: Hold my glass of port wine.

[micheldupaul]

Beautiful interpretation. Why do not you keep long notes?

[greenchocolate]

Great playing. May I ask what is the reason that the minim notes are played in staccato?
