D. Scarlatti: Sonata in A Major, K. 343
Here is my amateur version of Scarlatti's fabulous and unfortunately not very well known sonata No. 343 in A Major, played on my Yamaha GB1K and recorded with a Behringer UMC404HD audio interface and two matched Behringer C2 microphones.
Hope you enjoy it!

D. Scarlatti: Sonata in E-Flat Major, K. 253

It's been a long time since I posted my last video. My job has been very demanding lately and I had too little time to practice or record. For me as an amateur pianist, its very hard to accomplish Scarlatti's demanding and wonderfully written sonatas with technical perfection but it's definitely worth a try. Here is my version of his sonata K. 253 in E-flat major. I hope you enjoy it! I played ...

Scarlatti: Sonata in D Minor, K. 517
Переглядів 6504 роки тому
Lately, I have been fighting with Scarlatti's wonderful but fiercely difficult Sonata K. 517 which is supposed to be played "prestissimo". The technical quality in my interpretation is still not where it should be. Many notes are missing and all these fast runs and broken chords don't have the quality I desire. Since my practice time is quite limited as an amateur with a demanding full time job...

Here's my amateur-approach to Bach's Prelude and Fugue in c minor from WTC 1. Hope you like it. Please excuse the bad video quality from my potatoe-camera 🙄. It's been already kind of dark in the room which lead to a noisy picture. I recorded this video on my wonderful Yamaha GB1K with two Behringer C2 mics and a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 with GarageBand.

Rachmaninow's Études-Tableaux are wonderful dreamy and technically demanding pieces. As an amateur pianist, there are only few of them technically accessible for me. No. 5 (or 8 - depending on how they are counted) in g minor is such a beautiful and on the same time somewhat playable piece of art. Here is my version of this etude, played on my Yamaha GB1K. Please try to overhear the technical f...

Scarlatti has written such wonderful Sonatas. One very nice and musically interesting example from my point of view is definitely his Sonata in D Minor, K.9. I have been working on this little miniature recently and recorded it today with my wonderful Yamaha GB1K baby grand. I hope you like the style of this recording.

Although I am pretty satisfied with my wonderful Yamaha AvantGrand N1, I still wanted to own a real acoustic grand piano. Two months ago I was lucky and found a beautiful Yamaha GB1K baby grand, with a resonant sound and a very precise and responsive action. Now I am owning an AvantGrand N1 and a GB1K acoustic grand. So here we go... My first recording with my new Yamaha GB1K: Scarlatti's wonde...

    Your playing is wonderful but somehow, Yamaha does not manage to produce acceptable sounds. As one of the best manufacturers of the planet, they really should come up with something way better than what they produced so far on the digital piano market... At least they should enable updating sound libraries. I would be glad to be able update my CLP 695 gp to have at least an acceprable sound ...Whatever, to my opinion you just deserve a CFX!!

    Hi! You are so good! Would you recommend Yamaha N1 for a complete beginner or an upright like U1?

    • @megahertz890
      @megahertz890 3 роки тому

      Thank you so much 😊 Regarding N1 vs. U1: both are very good. The N1 gives you a „grand feeling“ which the U1 as an upright doesn’t. But the U1 sounds great and is a real acoustic piano which still has its advantages. It depends also on your situation at home. If you have sensitive neighbors, the N1 might be a better choice 😉

    @garyschneider5781 4 роки тому

    The tempo is not as even as it could be, but you're still getting there. Don't get discouraged. Challenging music requires so much practice until you know it well enough not to think about technique and are able to 'oversee' the music from outside yourself. Consider playing the piece in complete darkness (as if you were blind). This will help your ear to focus more and also requires you to know your landing notes well. Keep it up though, it has great potential. Best of luck to you!
