Wonderful! Perfect Dynamics! Greetings from Sardinia! Vanni

Yes, finally warmer here amidst the corn fields. The recording is Caliope CAL 9661, distributed (then) by Qualiton - sublime playing. But, then, yours is so inspiring that I am going to hunt up K. 87 right now. Thank you!

Excelente versión de esta sonata que tantas veces he oído... ¡¡ Bravo !!

Wonderful performance! it has spirit, expressiveness, sweetness.. Great job!

Beauriful!! Scarlatti genius @! Wishes fm como lake italy , varenna @

@robicool Thank you. Scarlatti was indeed a genius and his music speaks so directly to us over the centuries.

A lot of beauty and heart in your interpretation. Thank you for the video !!!!

Great perfomance, wonderful music, I love it. Thank you!

My favourite Scarlatti's sonata Thank you for sharing and greetings from Croatia

I am afraid that I don't know music, but what I can tell you is that your playing is wonderful.The harpsichord is my favorite instrument, and to hear it played so beautifully and lovingly is a real treat. Thank you so much for posting this!

It amazes me that piano players can actually read the music like this in stride especially when each hand has two voices. I have been working on learning to play this. If you were to ever stop me at any random point while playing this and ask me what measure I was at I would just stare at you blankly; I learn a measure at a time and just elongate my muscle memory of the piece.

You're not alone, mate. I've been plagued by that method for years. Could never get the hang of reading + playing.

Thank you, I love the plaintive character of this music.

@LiviHorror Thank you so much for this kind comment. When music speaks directly to the soul one needs no formal training, one needs only a soul.

Thank you for the comment! I love that sonata and the old Dowd.

@389Lee Thank you for listening and for posting a generous comment.

fine playing George

This is a beautiful piece that I first heard played by Rafel Puyana in April of 1985 On the BBC's Scarlatti His World and Music. A program that I have still on video and plan to convert to digital so that it can be shared with the world. My understanding of this sonata is that it doesn't have a tempo marking, though most people play it Andante (correctly so in my opinion), though I have heard it played faster, much to my dismay. An excellent performance here just wish the upload was in HD.

i have played this many times, the most beautiful example of the melancholic type of Scarlatti´s sonatas

The tempo marking is Allegro in most editions. The original has NO tempo marking indeed. But no one really plays it allegro. You may play it faster than this (see Scott Ross) but not to much, I think.

@organistedejazz Benj - Thank you for your generous comments. I hope to revive my French language skills (not very proficient) and then travel around to your magical city. I would like to be there when you will be performing organ music, classical or jazz - and with the fine player, Philippe Audibert. - Geo

Thank you for choosing this! This sonata always intregued me: I don't "get" the opening parts. You play it much better than I ever could. Why don't you use arpeggio's?

Very beautiful! Do you know Agnes Gillieron's verson on fortepiano?
