Very enjoyable to listen. Much better than the mozart stuff. ;)

Pianistimo,

Very clear, crisp and precise articulation.  It's so Scarlatti.  Great!

Incredibly good :D

My only suggestion would be a little ( just a little) bit faster.

Take care,
Gonzalo.

can you play the cat fugue  K.30 / l 499?

Because Scarlatti's cat walked on the keyboard and played those notes, and Scarlatti thought they made a good subject for a fugue.
