In music, sometimes, you find what TS Eliot described as the "still point of the turning world". I think he meant moments when time stands still, or at any rate your mind briefly comes to rest. I didn't know this piece until UA-cam found it for me. It is one of those moments. Thank you so much for sharing.
Por paradójico que parezca, Maria João aúna lo sencillo y lo sublime en un toque insólito que pocos saben dar a este compositor, a menudo, tenido por trivial. Ahí radica el talento de esta maestra incomparable.
Half of this video's views are mine, I swear lol...Maria performed this piece so well that it's hard not be moved, tbh I don't think I'd ever get tired of this, masterfully played with such delicate poignancy, bravo! If anyone's wondering, the piece, Sonata in A Major, K.208 is by the Baroque Italian composer D. Scarlatti.
bravo maria joao.... keep playing, please.... always.. “To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.” ― Fernando Pessoa. Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada Teu exagera ou exclui. Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és No mínimo que fazes. Assim em cada lago a lua toda Brilha, porque alta vive. ― Fernando Pessoa. you inspired my music and my life @2-nY
You are welcome. I got that information from a book I am reading called Year of Wonder, by Clemency Burton-Hill. Today’s chapter was about this piece. It’s an excellent book, if you love classical music!

WHO puts up a classical music video without even putting the title of the composition on top?
Прекрасное исполнение, талантливо,Маэстро! БРАВО! ВАЛЕРИЙ ШПАНАГЕЛЬ МОСКВА.
Maravillosa como siempre. Abrazo desde Uruguay.
Je regrette Maria... Scarlatti n'est pas Chopin...
This is a balm and an antidote to cynicism. 🙏❤️

Zou niet weten wat hier triviaal aan is....
Trivial?.Domenico Scarlatti era un genio absoluto.
So beautiful !!!!!!
Beautiful
Always brings a tear to my eye...
Que paz Maria João. Gratidão! PAZ PLENA. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🎶🎹🎼🙏🏼💕💕💕💕💕.

Maria Joao Pires! good job 🎹🎶👏👏
Pure joy 🤗❤️
Boring performance. She is not interested in this piece. A huge pianist , no discussion about that.
Ha ha ha ha ha. It s so nice to see people who does t understand nothing about music but has time to give their stupid opinion

@focusezz6947 - That is exactly what I was wondering. Thank you for that important information. It should be in the video description.
...MARAVILLA...
Wonderful!
Maria is one of true and real poets of piano music.

Scarlatti like Schubert should be left in the hands of piano poets, easy compositions, but only age does give you the free expression to execute right
... asi soy yo... un detalle... un susurro... un espacio...
K208... Longo 238
Pure beauty. I wish I could play this sonata like that some day
How does she get that incredible sound out of a Yamaha?
this is gorgeous! - anyone know what k. it is?
Kk208

@@barrypeterson6725 will for sure have to check that out!
De quarentena em Lisboa ! Desempenho doutro mundo ! Obrigado !
Grande Maria João Pires !!!
This sublime music is not of this world at all - t is heavenly joy and peace flowing through this great artist!
I've just spotted the Japanese characters at the end: now all is explained !! I hope she got paid plenty for the concert.
Surprised she's playing a Yamaha. I wonder if it has the tone to compete with Steinway in the romantic composers
I think Scarlatti really liked JS Bach. This could be one of his many arioso adagios... She's awesome by the way!!
Love this performance. Bravo
Too slow and Romantic.
Not at all. This is Adagio Cantabile so it most be slow and you are confusing cantabile and Romantic
Let's say it's a performance calibrated for pianoforte and not harpsichord or clavichord.
