Follow my channel, updated everyday with a new sonata

I really like your playing! Very brilliant and expressive, yet natural and unassuming.

I did go to your channel but did not quite understand what you intend with this project. There were several Scarlatti sonatas but most videos were two or three years old. There was one from yesterday though. Are you planning to release one every day starting now?

It would be amazing if you could find a way of making the recordings sound better. A matter of equipment of course, but I think it wouldn't have to be that expensive or difficult to improve quite a lot from the sound you have now. Was this just recorded with your phone?

Definitely sounds like it.

Are you planning to release one every day starting now?

I would have great respect for anyone willing to do that, especially with Scarlatti who wrote 555 Sonatas - it would be nice to hear one a day.

I'm hoping that he hasn't just signed up to re-post videos he recorded years ago in order to get more views on YouTube and just use this as some way to bolster his view count.

I'm sorry to fail your expectations.... I published all the sonatas on FB yet (I finished in March 2018) and I'm republishing them on YT now only because I think people could hardly access them via FB.
The quality is very poor I know; but it was not planned as an ambitious project, really... only a way to keep my fingers alive after I left my music career years ago
Thank you anyway for your understanding

Many fine qualities in your playing! Sometimes, I feel your rubato distorts the rhythm a bit too much, to the point where I wasn't sure if you are playing three 8th notes or something like a quarter note followed by two 8ths. I love me some good rubato but maybe you need some restraint in those locations.
