Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. The huge amount of time you must have put into this is much appreciated. I suggest you add more tags, so that more people can find the video easily.
32_Stevannus Alvino Primalaksmana I agree with you and this “familiar” insanity. Whith Alessandro we find Neapolitan folk rithms (8:11 onward), with Domenico neapolitan, spanish flamenco’s and Portugues ones.
Thank you for posting this, and the music scrolling above too. the performer gets some very good and stylish rubato (well, I shouldn't be calling it rubato, what I meant is slight delays in the tempo and 'placing' of certain notes). I think that he (or she) could perhaps get some more dynamic variety by using the upper instead of the lower manual sometimes. Nevertheless, a very intelligent performance of this interesting work :-)
Penso che sia una delle più vaste Toccate che io abbia mai ascoltato, perché tocca tutte le possibilità esecutive che offre il clavicembalo. Questi 20 minuti sono passati in fretta, sono stato preso dalla musica, giacché la composizione è in continua evoluzione, alla ricerca dell'ultima Follia, che si conclude con uno struggente arpeggio di Re minore. Un solo giudizio mi è dato esprimere: Fantastica...
It’s a Neapolitan Tarantella-like folk rythm. The bass note take the rythm like the “Caccavella” (or “Putipù”), a friction-moved bass drum tipycal accompaining with a large tambourine. So, this piece is more similar to...the “System of a Dawn” ones 😜. Seriously, this happy, dancing piece joyfully celebrates “l’ottava stesa”: the renovating “keyboard’s freedom movement” opposite to the “short octave” keyboards (don’t say it to herr G. Silbermann).
Apostolis Moshopoulos La folia was a famous theme used by many composer from the baroque till the late romantic period. Check Rachmanov‘s, Bach‘s, Correlis and other composers take on this famous melody
I am 44, found of JS Bach and am discovering just nowadays. There is another rubato. The classic must be played justo and the romantic rubato. sorry for my English.
For a moment there, I almost thought I heard something of R. Wagner. Harmonically speaking. Drama yes, no wonder he (Scar) got so fat. I remember when he and Handle use to play dueling harpsichords... after dinner. What fun. Listen to the glissandos. ! What fun.
Variazioni sulla follia i grandi compositori la rendono sempre variegata e divertente, ricordo Marin Marais, Vivaldi, Corelli, C.P.E. Bach e perché no Liszt
It's a toccata, so structure is not needed, there is development as the music employs: Sequences, Changes of patterns and figuration, differing melodies, chromaticism and modulations. There is some structure in the theme and variations, but the fugue and toccata do not require structure because of their very nature. This is a perfectly acceptable piece.
There are some good moments on here, but it’s mostly just being excessive for the sake of it. To be fair it’s a toccata, so it’s just meant as an exercise piece, but you can still write exercises that sound good
The harpsichordist's choice of embellishment are out of this world.
nope, too much stuff on "arpeggio" part, i don't liked it. apart from that nice thrills i suppose
@@paolopapolli6002 The arpeggio part is supposed to be played in this "fancy" manner
@@paolopapolli6002 Yes but, thats literally what an arpeggio is lol
@@paolopapolli6002 baroque rules say the performer can arpeggiate any chord pretty much, especially on the harpsichord lol
its another world litteraly. regime dead curently
Amazing... Thank you gerubach for preserving this brilliant performance of such a beautiful piece of music!

What a crazy composition ( I like it ! )
Those variations are insane. Scarlatti was definitely the Liszt of his time.
This is Alessandro not Domenico...Qualis pater talis filius...
32_Stevannus Alvino Primalaksmana I agree with you and this “familiar” insanity. Whith Alessandro we find Neapolitan folk rithms (8:11 onward), with Domenico neapolitan, spanish flamenco’s and Portugues ones.
his son was even better.
Nice. The Fugue part is my favorite.
It is very nice but underdeveloped... Wish he did more.
I’ve never heard music like this. Really a phenomenal composition and performance!!
scarlatti is crazy
0:32 is very ahead of his time, not as polyphony as you would expect from that time, though that is correct if scarlatti is crazy idk what bach is....
Yes but which one???
@@idomoheban3847 Alessandro
But it's quite different while it's compose by Alessandro Scarlatti, not compose by Domenico, his child
BRAVO Mr. Igor Kpnis !!!!
MIO DIO!!!!
Stupendo, superbo, MAGNIFICO!!!!
Musical perfection....such elegance in a world of sin, war, pandemic is a Godsend...

My god, what gold mine have I found here
Very, very nice! Both, the piece and performance...
8:54 Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
That was ridiculously good skill.
verrukkelijke sickness ! ! ! ! !
Thanks for this Wonderfull post :)
8:10 Remind me the intro of Thunderstruck.

10:32 Shook
It's a romantic barouqe
0:31 - 0:43 Very moonlight sonata-like, harmony wise
The Scarlatti family is the Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Chopin of the baroque era
And alessandro proved he was a metal head. (that la follia)
thanks for sharing this, by the way my eyes are bleeding, this scrolling isn't for me so pleasant
that’s amazing
La Follia is the same as Corelli? Who really wrote the theme? Or is it a common theme in the period and anyone can write off of it?
It was an ancient popular dance from Portugal which then became a standard progression for variations during the Baroque period.
omg amazing
Sounds hard to play for me. But you nail it
Is this by Alessandro Scarlatti? You didn't specify which Scarlatti.
Domenico’s father...Alessandro. Qualis pater, talis filius...
hadn't come across this before. it must be daddy scarlatti!
2:39 it sounds like those piano toys that play fur elise reaching low battery lol
alo asiek
gonna get motion sickness from watching the presto at 23 fps
:-) ( i have a real motion sickness really :-) )
Remarkable
6:06 cant find another video of this piece
Savage!!!
Podemos ver gracias a la franja roja y la partitura la grandeza de la obra .un placer gracias. Saludos i ánimos.
18:56
Amazing:')
TY!
The counterpoint in that 'fugue' leaves much to be desired.
3:09 MOST DIFFICULT...
Fuga a'2 rocks. I plan to watch all of your videos. This is great! Are you playing?
May I recall a player piano with this?
de dónde sacaba esa música este tipo!!!???? una belleza...!
Can I find the midi for this anywhere?
LeFruFru learn to play with notes!
8 : bartok didn't invented the ostinato… 15:30 and the introduction of Mozart's Dissonance not so surprising.
I mean, the passacaglia was a thing for ages, of course Bartók didn't invent the ostinato
I need a midi file of this song. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated
Ganz einfach, hab ich schon mit 3, ach schon im Mutterleib gespielt ...
:-) !
Who is tne harpsichordist?
Ci sono alcune alterazioni non rispettate, è un problema dell'edizione della parte?
7:55 - 9:05
Did Bach know Scarlatti's works?
Símplemente maravilloso.
3:10 que alguien me explique como se tocan esos trinos al mismo tiempo que continúa la melodía? Creí que solo a partir de Chopin se hizo común eso.
El trino se tocan en tempo como semicorcheas con los dedos 2 y 4, y la melodia se toca con los pulgares.
Eccezionale!
It's cute! :-)
I can't find this album on cd, which makes me very sad.
Its pieces like this which make me wish I read music
Chris Phillips its dead easy. You can learn to read the basics in like a day or a few if you commit.
Don’t listen to him, it takes years
@@liljs4189 No it doesn't.
@@liljs4189 this tempo ? yes ! years !
5:14
♡♡♡
The video intro says "Alessandro Scarlatti" - put the compser's full name in the title!
... except when there's two with the same surname
Sounds like something written by a 5 year old Bach. It has all the artistry of a block of concrete.
Grande compositore siciliano
Holy Moly!❤️
thema ''la follia'' is similar to liszt's spanish rhapsody
Apostolis Moshopoulos La folia was a famous theme used by many composer from the baroque till the late romantic period. Check Rachmanov‘s, Bach‘s, Correlis and other composers take on this famous melody
Oh! That fugue!
I am 44, found of JS Bach and am discovering just nowadays. There is another rubato. The classic must be played justo and the romantic rubato. sorry for my English.
What a crude way to play music; without feeling.
Does anybody know where I can find the complete sheet in IMSLP? I can only find La Follia
Idk why i can hear some vivaldi infuence in the fastest partitas, i imagine the same music but played in a concerto's 3rd mvt
A. Scarlatti: COME HERE VITTORIA, DARLING!
V. Ansalone: eh?! ._:
A.Scarlatti: i want my sixth child >:)!!!
V. Ansalone: YAMETE KUDASAII!!
nicht zu glauben . . . . . . . !

This is Domenico's father, Alessandro Scarlatti

If you pinch your eyes then the score scrolls smoothly without vibrating like crazy
Is there any chance there is a free score of this? Can't find it on imslp... Any help? I would love to play that piece.
+phrasel14 Danke.
imslp.org/wiki/Toccata_Per_Cembalo_D'Ottava_Sesta_(Scarlatti%2C_Alessandro) The score is actually on imslp~
The animation can get shaky
Who says you can't beat a old horse with a stick?
domenico's? alessandro's?

Have you ever thought of doing 20th century pieces?
Kids! What are you going to do?
Yes, darlink. Mine shopher wen des reddy. So...ien, ves, dos, y and.
Who in the hell are you trying to impress? Breathe and... listen. Again, darling. Play.
So... Is this supposed to be for piano?
Brenn i helvete nei, den er for cembalo/harpsichord
IS FOR THE FREAKING HAPSICHORD, says it in all parts xD.
Hahaha
Epilepsy warning
One of the most superficial Pieces I´ve ever heard. Scarlatti can really do better, but did much only for money.
Far from Mozartian.
I'll stick with him.
Sorry, this is really very bad music. An endless row of every cliché in the baroque repertoire, whitout any development or structure.
It's a toccata, so structure is not needed, there is development as the music employs: Sequences, Changes of patterns and figuration, differing melodies, chromaticism and modulations. There is some structure in the theme and variations, but the fugue and toccata do not require structure because of their very nature. This is a perfectly acceptable piece.
I like it 👍🏼😻👍🏼

What a horrible performance!
