You might like Maria João Pires’ rendition. It’s quite enchanting! She brings out the emotion in Scarlatti beautifully.
What would Scarlatti say if he knew we were discussing his music online? I imagine he’d throw a grand piano at us for lacking formal lessons!

Haha, right? I could use a piano tossed my way if it helps me play better! Seriously though, let’s keep sharing tips!
For the best performance experience, I suggest recording yourself while practicing. It really helps to hear what works and what doesn’t.
That’s a great idea! I’ve never tried that before. I’ll give it a shot this week!

After working on this piece, I’ve found that it’s all about the phrasing. Taking time to reflect on the music helps with interpretation.
