@@excelsior999 I just removed myself from the piano playing this, because I'm a failure as a pianist. By god, the melody is so simple and deep. I see my childhood in this music. If you look at the portraits of Scarlatti, he looks so arrogant. But underneath... he was gentle and fragile.
@@Mukundanghri Don't beat yourself up.Scarlatti's music teacher was Alessandro Scarlatti, a famous composer in his own right. That certainly gave young Domenico a head start. Ditto for Bach's sons. How lucky they were! After J.S's passing C.P.E. Bach said that if you gave his father a melody he could see virtually every variation that could be written on that melody almost instantaneously.
You think Scarlatti looked arrogant? I don't, but I've always thought he looked rather glum, for a man who wrote such ( mostly) lighthearted and joyous music.
Fuckin hell me too ! I was like... "A sonate ?..... In F..... ????!!!! in F MINOR ?!!!!!" Ok... I will enjoy that for sure... "1 min in" Jeez do I love that.. "A few moments later" This is my new hymn !
Beautiful! I’m looking for Scarlatti sonatas that are not too technically difficult and am seriously considering this one. Thank you Paul, for your exemplary performance!
Scarlatti Sonata in E Major K.380 isn’t too hard, and sounds very pretty. I recommend listening to Tiffany Poon’s recording because she takes it at a very relaxed tempo and I love it
This is incredible - just like Sebastian says below it is almost romantic sounding - it reminds me of CPE Bach’s sonata in B minor so gentle and amazingly ahead of its time. There’s a great recording of it by Cziffra I definitely recommend to fans of this sort of stuff
This sonata was also used in the movie Monsieur Lazhar, played to great effect on what sounds like a less than perfectly tuned upright. Beautiful film by the way, as moving as the music is.
Beautiful music. Timeless and engaging by its simplicity which mystifies experts but rewards listeners. (The great Bach would have trouble and want to add some complexity to a pie e remarkable for its sparseness. Thank you
Drar Mr. Barton; I have been listening to you now for about 2 years and I have lesende so much from you! I am a multi- instrument player: drums,guitar and piano. I Find your pløying to be so spot on! I am writing you from San Jose Ca USAYou Are a very brilliant pianist- and very underarter! Anyway I just wanted to express my intense appreciation for you! Take care my frien!
Stumbled across this. I'm primarily an organist, so in watching the score I kept thinking of what I woud put o which manual, which bass notes I would put on the pedals, and possible registrations. I'm thinking generally flutes and diapasons; I can't see any call for reeds or strings.
The notes of bass line of the 8 and 9 measures are almost the same notes of the song "sweet dreams" of the Eurythmics ( If you double every single note)
Multivalence of music, diverse universes, and optics....... This sonata can gravitate to rythm, but here centers on the impressionistic beauty of its Harmony......
Please be aware that Pierre Gouin's editions of the Scarlatti sonatas contain errors. Ms 6 & 7 should have Ab as the first note in the LH instead of F. In Ms 40 & 42, beats 3 and 4 in the LH should be a note higher. You can use the Kenneth Gilbert edition available on IMSLP for comparison. All that aside, I find your playing to be very wonderful, and the sound of that piano just adds to the awesomeness!
Its so easy to fall back to F and C in Ms 6 & 7and 9 and 11, feels just somehow more natural to me. But probably keeps more of a tension if it is Ab and Eb. And in Ms 20 and 59 there is some indication of an M (or G) missing, which i was stumbling upon in my edition, and found that its pointing out the hand to use in italian, with M meaning left hand.
Bar 19 and bar 58 do not start with a triplet but with two sixteenth notes (bar 19) resp. two eighth notes. but i hear triplets as in all other bars. so this whimsical change of the many times repeated rhythm gets lost.
Rather more the interpretation and performance on a piano than the actual music; to turn your point round, does calling Chopin, Schumann, Mendelssohn or Liszt a baroque romantic make any sense ?
Невероятно! Для меня, человека очень слабо разбирающегося в классике, это звучит как современная музыка. Не романтизм, не классицизм, и уж тем более не барокко. Современная музыка.
People of the past had such a tremendous spiritiual power and richness in emotions. This peice proves my observations. Today's art is profanity laced with void and dirt😢.
I feel so uncultured, I'm not much of a piano player. I only know very very very basic keyboard, but I do play Clarinet. But anyway I only learned of this song from the classical music station in Fallout 4.
I'm wondering if in 0:42 he meant for the first embellishment of the D in the right hand to be longer than when it comes back a bar later, since the notations are slightly different. 🤔 I like the interpretation overall, great job! 🤩
It is indeed a pity that some obtuse listeners tend to minimize the greatness of Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas largely for the (to me) specious reason that he employs the so-called "binary" method of playing notes in many of them. I would point out that in more than a few of his marvelous sonatas (such as K. 466, as well as K.8 and K. 87, et al.) he eschews his trademark "binary" method almost entirely. It is well worth listening to all 555 of these gems (either on harpsichord or on the pianoforte) to appreciate the full scope of Scarlatti's genius. (BTW, K.466 is so moving that it has been known to reduce grown men to tears.)
Apart from the five fugues and a tiny number of other sonatas, all the rest of Scarlatti’s sonatas *are* in binary form (ie two halves each to be repeated). You need to check out Ralph Kirkpatrick’s biography where he explains about the two different types - ‘open’ and ‘closed’ sonatas. Otherwise, you are quite correct; choosing any Scarlatti sonata is like playing the lucky dip into a treasure chest.
Scarlatti didn't compose music for the piano because it didn't exist at that time. The original version played on harpsichord sounds more genuine and baroque..
There's something quite enchanting about this piece
To put it mildly. This is such an amazing piece of music. Listen to it played by Emil Gilels.

This piece my goddess
SCARLATTI doesnt always follow the rigid Baroque counter melody style. That is why he is unique. He is way ahead of his time!
Maybe it's because he is influenced by Spanish folk music.
He was a contemporary of Bach, I wonder if they ever met ?

Definitely not.

Thank you, Paul!
And Scarlatti!
Una delle più belle sonate di Scarlatti! Incanta e rapisce.
A reminder that beautiful music doesn't have to be virtuosic as we often think of it. Thanks.
Scarlatti was a virtuoso composer though.
Quite often virtuosic music is not beautiful, rather impressive instead. Virtuosic music is very shallow.

Haha you know if the only crisis I'd ever have were Scarlatti crisis then I'd never complain about anything lol
@survivaltest 370 that's the cool thing about Baroque. You get to do your own phrasing
One can only have a Scarlatti Crisis by being deprived of listening to his music for an inordinate period of time.
Stumbled across this. I'm primarily an organist, so in watching the score I kept thinking of what I woud put o which manual, which bass notes I would put on the pedals, and possible registrations. I'm thinking generally flutes and diapasons; I can't see any call for reeds or strings.
I'd imagine this would be much easier to play on the organ than Bach...
So beautiful
Its great! Sorry for my terrible English - You produced a great, big voluminous sound- for this music the best!!!
Very lovely playing.
Mi favorita genio scalatti!!!
1:42 Sounds like Beethoven, Pathetique 3rd movement
Or beethoven sounds like scarlatti :/
Auch ich sehe romantische Anklänge in diesem herausragenden Stück
1:42 Beethoven's 9th!!!!
thought I was the only one who heard that
not his 9th but does sound like some part of his music. Maybe concerto 2 or 3
or maybe the sonata #23
no lol, it sounds like the 9th. the scherzo from the 9th, not the opening movement.
Brian Bernstein::::: ohhhh i hear it now😉
Indeed enchanting.. lovely ❤️
The notes of bass line of the 8 and 9 measures are almost the same notes of the song "sweet dreams" of the Eurythmics ( If you double every single note)
Missed opportunity in bar 58 to continue the rising melody peaks up to Eb to heighten the harmony even further.
