What pieces are these?????

MUST KNOW!

3:50 mark:

Song at the beginning:

I wish to know so I can learn them when I'm good enough; say ten years from now XD?

If I am not complete soft in my head today (had a very long day) the second one is a sonata by Scarlatti, but cannot remember which one...

EDIT: It's K25

EDIT2: Henle rating is 6 (medium) so I don't think it will take many years if you work on some easier sonatas first.

Thanks Outin!

It's just my humble heart speaking btw. I would love to be able to play it tomorrow, but I would also love to be a millionaire tomorrow, lol.

My teacher has me working on the very basics now. Learning to read music as well. I'm happy to learn the basics though; without the fundamentals, the higher songs just won't sound well.

I had a hunch it could be scarlatti btw, thanks again!

Any idea what's being played at around 2:00 here?

Thanks Outin!

You are very welcome! It seems we share the taste for his music, so I feel we are going to get along well 

BTW There's a recording by Horowitz:

This sonata K25 is in my latest purchase of Henle editions, so I'll try it too some day.

The problem is that there are so many of these sonatas I want to learn that it will probably take me a lifetime...sigh...

I guess we just have to learn how to walk first...But I'm sure it won't take that long before you can play better stuff...

The other pieces I have no idea

Yeah I like Scarlatti a lot! I listen to it at my intership frequently:

Of course we're going to get along! But I'm sort of introverted so don't mind me missing social ques, hehe.

BTW There's a recording by Horowitz:

Sounds very, very good!

Thanks so much!

The first at the 3:50 mark is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, originally by Bach. This arrangement who knows, there are many arrangements ( i have one by Nevue that sort of combines Canon and Jesu but it's nice. I have not worked on that yet). You can find this music possibly here at Piano Street and certainly from Musicnotes.com but not that specific arrangement of it. It's nice in it's original form as well but different from what you heard in that video.

That last one is bugging me. It's a popular piece that I just can not place. Maybe if I heard it in it's truer form, less embellished it might come to me but I can't get the brain to kick in on it !

Edit,
 I see you got your answer already !

Jesu you will get to after some Inventions. Maybe a couple or three years or some easy piano version sooner..  Your first year will be all the study books and learning reading etc anyway. Maybe some easy Bach along the way. I suggest Beethoven's Fur Elise before Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring personally.
