Scarlatti - Bach Combo
on: January 27, 2010, 03:01:21 AM
What do you think about this combo?

Scarlatti´s sonata in C minor K11-L322 followed by Bach´s Rondeaux from keyboard partita 2.

A measured and reflexive piece followed by a stoked one.

Thanks for your opinions
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Scarlatti wrote a number of fugue sonatas (such as "Katsen"). These would combine well with anything from Bach's WTC.
Currently rehearsing:

Chopin Ballades (all)
Rachmaninov prelude in Bb Op 23 No 2
Mozart A minor sonata K310
Prokofiev 2nd sonata
Bach WTCII no 6
Busoni tr Bach toccata in D minor
