I love the way she entered. Walks onstage, throws a tissue into the piano, sits down and IMMEDIATELY starts playing before the audience is done clapping. What a Chad.
I'm an INSTANT fan. She walks up, tosses her handkerchief onto the piano sits and plays; no preliminaries, no posturing, no taking a moment to compose herself. She's on stage - ready!
If you've never seen her before you're in for a treat, there's tonnes of other recordings of her and they're all equally classy, she's a true genius and I must crow bar in that I've seen her play this live, it was absolutely brilliant and flawless like it was effortless to her.
@@MikeWalls7829 Before I saw this on youtube I didn't know anything about her but now I'm an instant fan. My wife and I did attend a concert by Dubravka Tomsic in Carmel, California. Probably 30 years ago. We were delighted. I'm willing to be delighted again if Martha Argerich comes to play anywhere nearby. Waiting . . .
I initially skipped the beginning part, and after reading your comment I was like, "Wait a minute, let me go back." Then I laughed my mosquito bites off (internally of course), because she's so nonchalant about it. She's like "This is no big deal," and shrugs it off.
Little do people realize, that bit of tissue visible at 1:53 is not there for any other purpose but for the PIANO to of course have the ability to wipe sweat from itself, after being played by this virtuoso! :-)
It's playable with soft pedal on a upright piano beacuse the hammers are very close to the strings. Forget Forte and play it piano. Not as fast but I physically cannot play as fast anyway...
I like how she nonchalantly throws her napkin onto the piano, sits down, and immediately starts playing without waiting for the audience to stop clapping.
I think, instead, she's saying: "please forgive me, for the little mistake in the last hand-crossing passage".... But, Martha, you really don't need to say 'excuse me'... you're too high in the standing of world renowed pianists... :)
If only Scarlatti could listen to her play his music. He would be thrilled as i am. These kind of folks make you love them. Bravo Martha Argerich To be able to play like you for only a day. xoxoxo
Com este vídeo aprendi q coordenação motora de guitarrista e violonista não é nada Tocar isso é totalmente rítmico e atencioso, se não houver isso, não tem música, porque essa sonata é isso! Fico muito feliz de ver e ouvir ❤ Muito obrigado
es todo un espectáculo: el balanceo del cuerpo, las manos que saltan del teclado y vuelven como martillando, la gestualidad de los labios como queriendo tararear la melodía, pura convicción, pura potencia, y un sonido inconfundible
This Scarlatti performance by Archerich is so amazing. It made it sound like a beautiful romantic song even though it was a Baroque song. It's such a perfect performance. She really has everything.
Scarlatti was very influential in romantic music, it's logical such a sound coming out from an outstanding and very knowledgeable musician like Argerich
@@JulioLeonFandinhoMany of his sonatas have a Romantic sound when played on the piano. Some of his sonatas sound like Schubert. Some, even like Brahms.
A very modern and brisk performance, probably far faster than intended; but I believe Scarlatti would absolutely commend this performance if he heard it.
Yes, many Scarlatti sonatas are relatively easy to read, but to play them at a decent speed and musically can be very difficult unless you are quite advanced.
Maravilloso descubrir esta sonata de Scarlatti intepretada por las manos prodigiosas de Martha!!! Asombra la técnica,la expresión y la interpretación particular que le aporta Martha a la obra!!!
Err are you sure this film is being played at the right speed - those fingers are moving like magic with such accuracy and tempo and she makex if look so effortless - incredible performance 👏👏👏
What the "too fast" critics don't get is that the speed A) is FUN (but not to an art snob), and B) makes the piano sound in spots just like a mandolin tremolo (guessing, intentionally so) . Very Italian! Do you suppose Scarlatti intended this? Don't answer, just smile!
It works, but Domenico Scarlatti's pieces were originally composed for the harpsichord, organ, and fortepiano, not the modern piano. It's a different sonority.
sorry...I think it is too fast. Funny part of it is I've heard it played even faster than this, as if faster were better. Hey, music is not a race! I think the lady knows this but likes to wow the fans.
She is a Pianist. Is there any problem what she play period of early music. Just say "I can not play like her in Pianoforte." Haa..There are many people who can not concentrate their toungue.
Mind blowing talent and ability enough to 'shock'. Incredible. Whoever regulated the repetition speed of that Steinway knew their onions! I wonder how the harpsichords back in Scarlatti's time coped with that kind of playing as it was written to be played at that speed. Amazing
Ceci est de la musique ou de la magie ! On ne sait plus trop où est la frontière, tellement cette grande pianiste possède son art !!!!! Et elle semble s'amuser sur son clavier!!! Le piano lui-même est est tout ébloui!!!
Above & Beyond as usual. This is Impeccably filmed and Her Performance of this is Exemplary. If i had seen this when i was 3, i would wish too, to spend The Rest of My Life doing this. We are so Lucky to be able to see these performances now, so easily. Sorry! There is No Ms.Argerich without The Customary Tissue. How else would Her Piano be able to Blow its Nose???
I've noticed several (in many other write-ups) refer to the 'hanky' that she (and others) 'throw' into the piano as a 'tissue'. Note.: a tissue would not necessarily land at the 'right' spot in the strings tuning pins area. It might even 'flutter' to the floor or on the keys(!). No, this is obviously a cotton handkerchief.
My 9-year-old son just walked in while I was watching this and asked, "How does she not break her fingers? [A considered pause] I guess she must have hands like the Wolverine, with finger bones made of Adamantium."
(Quick comment for Andrew Corsello : the action on Steinway's is so light, that you only have to 'find the notes', and so you don't break fingers! Nice that your son saw Martha, hope he will have much enjoyment from music. It is so life-enhancing. And of course, thank you for having the wonderful music playing, it can make a huge effect on a growing mind.
if you tried playing this after some practice it isn't too hard depending on your finger position and the way you stroke the keys. I played this piece and once you find a comfortable fit to how you play the repeated notes playing at this pace is not difficult.
I love the way she entered. Walks onstage, throws a tissue into the piano, sits down and IMMEDIATELY starts playing before the audience is done clapping. What a Chad.
Absolute Chad. She walks in there like she owns the place lol
@@RockinTheDub I run away from those people as fast as I can. No matter how quickly they can repeat notes
What means "What a Chad", man ??? Speak white !!!
chad just means dominant
She's 79 respect her
I'm an INSTANT fan. She walks up, tosses her handkerchief onto the piano sits and plays; no preliminaries, no posturing, no taking a moment to compose herself. She's on stage - ready!
She’s like “I got things to do today, bruh,”

I quote .....Martha is the reason I started playing the piano and also the reason why I want to give up ...... breathtaking
To poplife: I like your comment, so synthetic and true. I'm sure you will go ahead with playing, anyway.
Cute of you😢🎉❤
You know you have a special talent when the orchestra watches you with awe.
Yes 👍🏿
This woman is from another planet.
È una Stella che brilla di luce propria....

Forensic analysis indeed later found trace levels of piano sweat in the tissue.

She’s 68 here and still playing like an absolute boss....she’s definitely one of my all time faves
you mean 78! :)
@@acidbahia8324 this concert was in 2009
@@nogoogleplusYou are right! And today she's still incredible
what do you mean by "absolute" boss?
@@namenlos2578 She is the boss of the piano: "he" obeys her.
She's really testing that piano's repeat action!
For sure. All those repeated notes are why I could never play this piece. They'd kill me!
I think it would require a concert grand with this type of repeat in order to play the rapid succession of repeated notes properly.
about as fast as its double escapement can handle LOLOLOL wonderful
And each not is voiced so clearly it’s amazing
It's playable with soft pedal on a upright piano beacuse the hammers are very close to the strings. Forget Forte and play it piano. Not as fast but I physically cannot play as fast anyway...
She bows at the end, gives a gesture of "thank you but oh it was nothing special." What a boss.
It's very interesting how she strokes the keys from back to front to achieve a mandolin-like sound. Just amazing!!
It's not just about technique or speed and timing but her sound is very expressive and dynamical.
999kafka yeah =))
agree ...
999kafka Technique & technic are not the same thing.
Is 'dynamical' a word?
You need a lot of technic and speed and timing to make it expressive
She's not a queen she's a goddam WIZARD! Absolutely incredible. What a performance! What a great piece too!
I like how she nonchalantly throws her napkin onto the piano, sits down, and immediately starts playing without waiting for the audience to stop clapping.
Her sublime modesty is a shock in this world.
I can’t even play that well in my dreams. And I’m great in my dreams! Beautiful!
I love the little grimace when she drops a note toward the end. Sparkling performance!
i couldn't tell the note she even dropped
Martha literally makes a new hole universe in this moment. Her hands are capable to create anything. It’s just unbelievable. You can’t describe!
When Argerich plays, I am often convinced that it is the only way this piece is supposed to be played.
Entièrement d'accord, c'est ce que je pense depuis la première fois où je l'ai entendue.
musicy88 There are pieces played by Ravel that I like most when they are played by Martha Argerich.
+CEIVE4EVER absolutely. most appropriate example must be her rendition of Gaspard de la nuit. especially Scarbo.
Her playing of Ravel's Concerto in G is other-wordly.
fpoulenc х
As she bows and collects her applause she waves her arms as she is telling the audience: "I can't help it; I am Martha Argerich".
I think, instead, she's saying: "please forgive me, for the little mistake in the last hand-crossing passage".... But, Martha, you really don't need to say 'excuse me'... you're too high in the standing of world renowed pianists... :)

0:05 lol her walk to the piano and how she throws her Kleenex in the Instrument , totally relaxed
0 fucks given. Totally boss
She did that like anyone would come home from work and just sit in front of the tv
Yep. Having survived cancer, she does not give a f*%k about anything anymore...
she's got the exam-booger-run at 3:04. She had to suck it back in hahaha probably had a cold
@@miguelmarquez4192 Cierto, y pone cara de "no te jod...", pero bueno, a quiénes le importa. A mí, no.
Her specutacular performance is beyond description , immeasurable and unfathomable
La genialidad de Martha reside en que ella, cuando toca, disfruta. No sufre. Disfruta. Porque ELLA ES LA MÚSICA Y LA MÚSICA ES ELLA.
La plus grande Martha Argerich ''Richesse de virtuosité . Je vous aime pour votre don d'âme .vs savez émouvoir la terre . Bravo 💓🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
You'll start to feel more comfortable by now while listening to her incomparable performance
little example of what makes her so amazing
UN FANTASTICO E COINVOLGENTE SCARLATTI, UN'INTERPRETAZIONE DI GRANDE TALENTO.
A very modern and brisk performance, probably far faster than intended; but I believe Scarlatti would absolutely commend this performance if he heard it.
E a respiração?
I never get tired of watching this and am awed by it. I can't help after the 101st time that I get the impression she's had way too much coffee. :)
No one:
Martha: *yeets off stage* when piece finishes.
Une extra terrestre...
To be able to maintain a melodic line and colour at such speed...only Matha!!!!
La genial Martha Argerich dejándome sin aliento con semejante interpretación...extraordinaria!
Absolut meine Favoritin! Excelent e Pianistin unsere Zeit!!!🤔🎹🎹🎹🎹🎵🎵🎵🎵👍👍👌😊
Having followed this brilliant pianist one really wonders how she can keep up with the agility that she has shown since she was a young lady. Bravo
very commendable, yes; so many others would have shelved their virtuosity by now. Guess she's on another level of techinique?
I really despise the Simply Piano ads that come before everything. Such great people like Argerich don’t need ads.
Изумительно! Виртуозно! Браво, Маэстро!!
From my point of view... PERFECT! I mean, it couldn't be better: clear, sensitive, emotional. Just wow :) Let me replay this video again and again.
Penso que pianistas estão usando
Scarlatti para criar um novo estilo de tocar no piano
É o estilo zumbido.
Comes in, bows, throws tissues on the piano, sits down and immediately starts playing like it's nobody's business, bows and leaves.
What a chad!
Martha is the definition of cool.
Suonato da lei acquisisce una modernità non indifferente. Grande Marta !!!
When God gave Martha hands he said ....... I'll need those back when you're done.
She is fantastic!
Hermosa Martha!!! Una ametralladora de notas!!!! Una verdadera leyenda!
Beste Pianistin der Welt 🎹
SUBLIME and dynamic. What an artist! My goodness! ❤️❤️
People underestimate the difficultes to play Scarlati perfectly
