I received a message, and I told a friend, and he told his friend, and his friend told his friend and so on and so on. And that is the story of Fuge; get the message?😄
I really hoped Mozart would’ve looked into Scarlatti & his fugues. I think Scarlatti was the Baroque era of Mozart & Mozart himself would’ve definitely found similarities of his own style within. And possibly even would’ve attempted to remaster the same works by Scarlatti & make his own compositions out from the same exact subject. I can truly see a very close resemblance of Mozart everytime I listen to Scarlatti. A lot of elemental similarities, it does remind me of Mozart in many ways..
Quite ! I noticed this resemblance myself. If you listen to Mozart's Gigue you hear stylistic similarities with Scarlatti: th-cam.com/video/A_e45fzNhWg/w-d-xo.html
@@jocelynreinhardt4093 Yes this is Exactly what I’m talking about. The resemblance is just insane! I’m glad I’m not the only one who discovered this! I’m actually surprised why nobody have talked or lectured about this in the academy of Classical music aficionados!
@@ProdigyImprovisation, Scarlatti's harmonies were more baroque than Mozart's, but when the latter composed in the old style, he sounded like Scarlatti. We know that Mozart took as a model the music of Handel (cf. th-cam.com/video/LJ_hSub0w5A/w-d-xo.html) who had met Scarlatti and with whom he had a musical joust, perhaps Mozart received the influence of Scarlatti via Handel. Mozart also happened to compose a style close to Handel, as in this suite in C major, when he did it he was (already) getting closer to Beethoven (who loved Handel a lot): th-cam.com/video/0JlkI6IH9LU/w-d-xo.html
@@jocelynreinhardt4093 Thanks for the links. But even if Mozart wrote in the style of Handel, at the end of the day, he still resembles Scarlatti more. No doubt if Mozart was a baroque composer, him & Scarlatti’s styles would be identical. Although, I do think that Mozart’s depth of genius would really stand out more compared to Scarlatti however. And I really wish that Mozart wrote more works in the style of Baroque music! It would’ve definitely been very interesting to explore this side of Mozart!
@@ProdigyImprovisation, i'm glad to have discovered another person who is as in love with Mozart's baroque style as I am. If you're interested, this work is, for me, Mozart's summons in the baroque style (the second fugue at 7:53 is breathtaking): th-cam.com/video/kq0G7Cu00qE/w-d-xo.html. Because she exploits all the techniques in vogue at this period, dramatic openings, counterpoint and rigorous fugue, variation, chromatism. The different linked sections bring this work closer to the stylus fantasticus of North Germany at the time of Buxtehude and Bruhns of the Middle Baroque but with the beauty and melodic flexibility specific to Mozart (the interlude which is a series of variations is magnificent) .
A truly great composer. But there is the question of who wrote what first, Scarlatti and this, or Bach and the b- fugue from WTC Bk1. Perhaps the common figure used was written by someone well before! No matter, a great artist never borrows their ideas from another artist..... they STEAL it.
@@barney6888 "steal" is a strong word with a bad meaning. It's literally taking inspiration. You are not taking something from someone and telling everyone that's yours (AKA "to steal").
@@barney6888 omg, that's two different things between stole and make something similar. Bach and Scarlatti probably didn't even meet each other. Bach's style was considered "old", he just gained attention when he was already dead. It's not because it's similar that it was stolen, that's stupid to assume
To quote a feral cat that comes by my place once or twice every few years... "Buuhhhhhh tuh wutta wutta wutta ... wutta .. wuuhhhhh wutta wutta wutta wutta wuhhhh."
Played Allegro Moderato, as precisely indicated, this composition would have maintained its peculiar cantabile and constantly melancholic character. Even in the final part where the left hand really seems to imitate a cello full of dramatic ardor. ... A pleading soul, full of unrequited love.
Les deux sujets s'apparentent mais il faut cesser de comparer toujours avec J.-S. Bach. A chaque fois qu'on écoute une fugue d'un autre grand maître de la musique, il faut toujours qu'on ramène à Bach, comme si sa musique rayonnait dans toute l'Europe du début du 18e siècle, en inspirant systématiquement tout ses contemporains, ou qu'il avait inventé le genre de la fugue (ce n'est pas le cas et dès 1697 par exemple Johann Krieger avait publié un recueil de musique contrapuntique pour clavier où figurait [déjà] une quadruple fugue : th-cam.com/video/Rxc71BorrMY/w-d-xo.html ). Scarlatti n'a jamais entendu parlé de la musique de Bach de sa vie, en revanche on sait qu'il a rencontré Haendel et qu'ils ont même fait une joute musicale ensemble. Je pense que les rapprochements sont fortuits du fait que Scarlatti et Bach sont nés la même année et écrivait dans le même "genre" musical (le baroque).
Oui c'est peut être plutôt Bach qui s'est inspiré de ses prédécesseurs et de ses contemporains mais je vais essayer de suivre votre consigne laissée dans votre réponse.
It is unlikely that Scarlatti had heard about J. S. Bach or vice-versa in their lifetime. Bach was confined to his duties as a chapelmaster in Leipzig and Scarlatti was confined in Lisbon and lately in Madrid as the music master to princess and later Queen Maria Barbara de Bragança. However, it may be possible that Scarlatti had heard of Bach’s son Johann Christian through Scarlatti’s acquaintances in London.

I love how Scarlatti turns on the afterburners second half of piece.
Scarlatti is a master of fugue.
I received a message, and I told a friend, and he told his friend, and his friend told his friend and so on and so on. And that is the story of Fuge; get the message?😄
Yep.
Superb playing! What a gem of a piece!
Incroyable !
Thank you so much for this video! This sonata could be a new favorite of mine!
charming simplicity in full splendor.
till now i cant figure out what in it touches me all these years ...
"Charming simplicity in full splendor" is quite a good choice of words, I'd say.

Exquisite!
nice. scarlatti's fugue style is quite original and inventive imo.

Whereas Bach wrote toccatas followed by fugues, Scarlatti here wrote a fugue followed by a toccata.
The end is a fugue. Just not in JS bach style, which was atypical.
What the fugue?
Played Allegro Moderato, as precisely indicated, this composition would have maintained its peculiar cantabile and constantly melancholic character.
Even in the final part where the left hand really seems to imitate a cello full of dramatic ardor.
... A pleading soul, full of unrequited love.
On retrouve un des motifs dans la 24 ème fugue du WTC 1 de Bach.

Et aussi dans le mouvement « Fac et ardeat cor meum » du Stabat Mater de Pergolesi.
Mr DB is brilliant ! Phenomenal ears and technical brilliance
Are there no videos of him playing live ? Or recorded videos of Mr DiBonaventura?🗾
Ci vorrebbero le "inegualità" dello stile dell'epoca. Per quanto sia molto bella e curata la dinamica
While most people connect fugues with Bach, this is my favourite,-- beautiful and yet funky in the later stages with those fast semis going berserk.
Awesome
Indeed , it is certainly capable of inspiring awe.
