Carlos Seixas - Sonata No. VII in D minor (Harpsichord) w/ sheet music

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Here's a composer I never heard of before (and first Portuguese composer I ever heard of), that deserves to get wider attention.

[@christianwouters6764]

Very interesting piece because of its rhapsodic form. Much less predictable than Scarlatti's sonatas.

[@yuk_notkim7658]

As a Scarlatti fan, I have to agree with Seixas being less predictable.

[@nikhilr-q]

The fermata at 1:20, with the lingering B major harmony is quite piquant.

Es justo lo que andaba buscando y lo encontré por casualidad. Sincronicidad.

Juicy piece

That V7 - bVI in the beginning was really unexpected, especially with the parallel fifths in the left hand. I dig it though.

[@Whatismusic123]

Not bad parallel fifths if they do not combine voices.

I find this particular Sonata to be more idiomatic to the fortepiano. Very nice performance here nonetheless.

[@iggyboo5075]

Nice . Simply nice. Perhaps, the experiments with tempo may be valid.

Allegrro ?!

Its played a bit too slow. If you change the youtube playing speed to 1.25 it sounds much better and becomes more a unity and much more consistent.

[@ruperttmls7985]

Disfruto mucho a Scarlatti, Rameau, Bach, etc. pero a Seixas nada mas no lo entiendo, sus melodías me “confunden” 😣

[@paulofil72]

Because he is not predictable. We never know what’s follow. That’s its beauty.

[@Whatismusic123]

@@paulofil72 predictability is part of what makes music coherent to the listener, when you lose that, your music becomes random.
