Scarlatti L487
on: January 08, 2013, 07:03:14 AM
A rough draft playing!

One of those sessions where you record yourself to pick on yourself.

This is currently my favorite Scarlatti sonata!

Hope you somewhat, enjoy  :) 

Comments are super welcome!

This is not an easy one, so good job. But you are going unnecessarily fast. You can slow down a bit and will be much better. Even if you were 100% sure about it, it would still be better to slow down the tempo a bit. Scarlatti's music is NOT just about virtuosity, it also has substance and it's almost impossibile for the listener to get into it  and enjoy the music with such speed.

That's just my humble and uneducated opinion...

...you are going unnecessarily fast. ...That's just my humble and uneducated opinion...

but it is an opinion i agree with and share with you.

you obviously have the apparatus (wow i sound like 'birba' now lol....), but take us somehwere (and bring us back!), whare are you trying to say here? musically, what effect do you wish to have? what emotions do you feel this music stirs in you and what similar feelings do you want your audiences (us/listeners) to have?

you do some nice things here (i think), but i can't be sure because it all happened so fast.



we're not picking on you, like i said i rather liked it overall but i think i can like it a lot more. its a better than 'good place' to start improving from though. really. congrats.
