Awesome tutorial, very clear explanations about how to play the different voices. Thanks a lot for the sheet music with fingerings, very useful ! You deserve a lot more subs !
im a bit obsessed with this song rn, when i saw this being played on guitar by jen kim. flying fingers! i could have sworn this is easier on the piano, but i was totally wrong :D your playing at the end is also crazy. well done.
Thank you so much for your Scarlatti tutorials! I wonder if there is documentation of how well Maria Barbara was able to play these? She must have been very good, especially for a Queen! It would be outstanding if your displayed scores showed your fingerings. Thank you again!
One of the best explanations and tutorials that I have heard - many thanks. Note: American English note values - ‘16th notes’ et cetera - are not understood outside the US, whereas ‘semiquaver’ is universal.
Thank you... I m not ready for this.. but someday..... Perhaps... Who is your favorite interpreter for this piece? I was impressed by a young Michelangeli's version . Best of luck for your career. You deserve it out of this beautiful gift
Hi, thanks a lot for this great tutorial! I've a question though: in the 2nd section, there're several parts which require the pianist to hold a note with e.g. pinky for a beat, but play another note for only half a beat. I often find myself letting go of the pinky too early. How do you practise this? Also, is it possible to hold the pinky note for less than a beat and use the pedal to make it 1 beat? Thanks!
Hi, thank you very much! I think, would be nice to hold the longer tones with fingers for the whole duration and also to use the sustain pedal while doing it. It will help to make it sound more melodic and polyphonic. Also I recommend to play around with the equalizing these layers. For example to play the longer tones (whole beat) brighter, and the shorter tones (half beat) softer. Or maybe the other way around?! You can practice that by playing each layer separately and slowly, and I also recommend to practice it without pedal at first. Good luck!
Hi Eva, I’ve given an explanation several times on that topic, probably you haven’t seen it. I will just copy-paste it here; “I have several reasons to keep the camera placement as it is. The first one is that I want to present the exact angle as I see my hands. I believe, the viewer must see the nature of the hand movement through my eyes because I think this is the easiest way to understand what I am showing and explaining. The second reason is that body movement has a huge impact on phrasing and timing in general. Those two things aren’t always the easiest to explain in words. Therefore in my experience, the movement adds to my teaching. The third reason is that I can show the right or the left hand at a specific time for the certain passage that I want to be the focus of the attention. For me, the above reasons are very essential to my teaching.” All the best

Oh bit what a mesmerizing sonata

Thank you for the kind words and feedback!
Its funny, in Spanish we say: "semicorchea" o "dieciseisavo" (16o)... ;)

A steady camera would be very much appreciated!!
