Domenico Scarlatti (1685 - 1757):
SONATA IN A MAJOR (K24/L495)
Domenico Scarlatti was an Italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. His music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers to transition into the classical period. Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his 555 keyboard sonatas.
Only a small fraction of Scarlatti's compositions were published during his lifetime; Scarlatti himself seems to have overseen the publication in 1738 of the most famous collection, his 30 Essercizi ("Exercises"). These were well received throughout Europe, and were championed by the foremost English writer on music of the eighteenth century, Charles Burney. Ralph Kirkpatrick numbered these sonatas K1 - K30.
The many sonatas that were unpublished during Scarlatti's lifetime have appeared in print irregularly in the two and a half centuries since. Scarlatti has attracted notable admirers, including Béla Bartók, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Pieter-Jan Belder, Johannes Brahms, Frédéric Chopin, Emil Gilels, Enrique Granados, Marc-André Hamelin, Vladimir Horowitz, Franz Liszt, Ivo Pogorelich, Scott Ross, Heinrich Schenker, András Schiff, and Dmitri Shostakovich.

This is a live recording from when he won the 15th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition in 2017. Excellent interpretation and performance.

Beautiful! Very Scarlatti but a bit Spanish (flamenco?) also? Thanks for posting! 😝😀🦋💐👍

[@felixmladenov]

Beautiful performance! Many thanks for these videos, so refreshing. But by the way, I think you unpurpousely exchanged his first name and his surname.

[@stigekalder]

Yes, you are right, I fixed it. Quite an unusual spelling of Simon, at least if you're not Polish 🙂
I'm glad you like my videos !

[@iksralquyuud]

Thank you Stige. Nice, but it wouldn't hurt if he played it a bit slower...

[@stephenbeale4765]

it does say ‘presto’…

[@stigekalder]

I tend to agree with you.
Well, actually, the other K24 I uploaded is even faster :-)

Played at Show-Off Speed ('Look at me! See what I can do?!') with little or no regard for the composer and what he may hae been trying to Do or Say. Shameful.

[@dabluetoad6753]

Most performances of this piece sound like this 😭. Also Scarlattis music is very heavily influenced by Spanish music so taking lots of rubato and emphasizing repeated notes (guitar strumming) IS how Scarlatti meant for it to be played. Scarlatti isn’t Beethoven or Mozart, the player is allowed a lot more creative discretion.
