Rompeteclas S.L., Alone at sunset, Carroll

[Teclas]

yo ahora no ando con mucho tiempo, si lo abre alguien yo iré colaborando, y si no ya lo abro más adelante. Lo podemos poner en el foro de compositores. No todos van a ser raros y desconocidos..

saludos!!

[Dalmaudi]

Me ha gustado el que has puesto burgmuller.
Muy profundo... me la apunto para un futuro.

[burgmuller]

Dalma, yo creo que por nivel la puedes hacer de sobra. Estoy segura de que has estudiado cosas mucho mas difíciles

[Dalmaudi]

Ok. Pues para este año que entra, en cuanto acabe con Bach, empezaré con Scarlatti. (sino mucho barroco en mi repertorio)
Gracias.

[evamar]

Ésta es una de las más conocidas, creo yo. A mi me suena de toda la vida, aunque hasta que no empecé a escuchar música clásica no sabía que era de Scarlatti.
Y además, Dalma, puedes ver que igual que tú tocas en pijama, hay otras que tocan en albornoz.

A mi me gusta más lenta, pero bueno.



Saludos

Pues si, la habia oido bastante, especialmente una parte, y tampoco tenia idea de quien era. Muy bonita, tambien la bata!


Burg, entre el Chopin y el Scarlatti no paras! Muy bonita, muy bonita, Cuantos anios llevas a las teclas?

Nada, para hacerlo lo mas parecido posible al original esta claro que hay que no solo tirar todos los digitales, sino tambien hacerse con autenticos organos, claves, y nada de pianos de pared, que son mas modernos, solo colas tradicionales estilo gravicembalo col piano e forte. Pero quien puede?

SI se es realmente purista no se podria tocar mas que en el instrument para el que la musica fue compuesto... que musica clasica sobreviviria la crida?

los tiempos cambian, y hay que aceptarlo asi. Yo por de pronto estoy muy muy contenta de no haber sido contemporanea de los grandes genios clasicos, no se vosotros!

Recopilación de sonatas de Scarlatti, por Bernhard:

Easy

K 32 – This is a real gem. Only 24 bars long, technically unchallenging (grade 3), and yet one of the most beautiful sonatas. Slow paced and exuding tranquillity, this reflective piece is the best of the four. (It has actually been recorded by Ingrid Sodergren for Harmonia Mundi, by Maria Tipo for Vox Box and Michae Levin for Naxos. This should just give you an idea of the musical depth of this piece, since when have you heard of pianists recording grade 3 pieces?)

K 34 – A slow thoughtful piece, only 28 bars long (grade 4)

K 40 – A nice minuet only a page long (24 bars) – amongst the easiest of Scarlatti pieces (grade 3)

K 431 – A delightful “baroque prelude” style piece with a fast right hand in arpeggio triplet figurations while the left hand provides a melody in minims and crochets. Although this should be played fast, it is still effective if use a slower tempo. Just 16 bars. (grade 3)

Intermediate:

K70 – (Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding on the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and hand independence. (2:10) Grade 5

K146 – (G major – Allegretto – 3/8 – A nice little menuet full of humour and light. Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands. (3:10) Grade 6

K 198 – (E minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. Dramatic and powerful, this 2 voice invention (with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of the second part) is still effective at a slower tempo. One of my favourites. (2:50). Grade 6

K 208 – (A major – Andante e cantabile) – Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and luminous, this is a masterpiece. (3:40) Grade 5.

K 239 – (F minor - Allegro ) An excellent “dance” piece full of Spanish rhythms. (3:20) Grade 6

K 481 – (F minor – Andante e cantabile) Introspective, delicate and lyrical this could be an ideal choice for opening a recital. And if you need a study in phrasing and legato this sonata is for you! (6:20) Grade 6.

K 511 – (D major – Allegro) – A masterpiece. This is a 2 voice invention with the figurations equally distributed between the hands. Urgent and dramatic it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are minimal. (2:40) Grade 6.

Advanced:

These sonatas are more difficult (grade 8 and over), but they are so amazing that you may want to have a go at them. Most of the difficulty stems from playing them at tempo. Yet they can be effective at a slower tempo – and much easier.

K 141 – (D minor – Allegro - 3/8 ) – A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated notes over long stretches. Beautiful romantic melody after the repeated notes. Broken chords and skips. Excellent as a study replacement. (3: 50) Grade 8.

K 466 – (F minor – Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits tranquillity and peacefulness rather than melancholy and grief. Excellent for developing rhythm awareness of triplets versus quavers. It also has 3 against 2. (5:40) Grade 8

K517 – (D minor – Prestissimo – 2/2) Another fast and furious sonata that can easily replace any technical study. With a typical baroque figuration shared by both hands, this one is ideal for scales, broken chords and close position passage work, and excellent for finger independence and dexterity. Intense, urgent and relentless. (3:00) Grade 8

20 “virtuoso” sonatas (fast, dazzling and technically demanding):

1. K 1 - (D minor - Allegro) This two voice invention is one of my favourite sonatas. Fast and delicate with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no difficulty at all in the left hand. (2:30). Grade 6

2. K 13 – (G major – Presto) Fast and brilliant with a catchy, rhythmical theme on repeated notes. One of my favourites. (4:20) Grade 6

3. K 24 - (A major - Allegro) – Virtuoso piece alternating relatively calm sections with dazzling scale runs. (4:55) Grade 8+.

4. K39 – (A major – Allegro) – Fast and furious, full of nervous energy. Excellent for waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both hands. Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece. Equally effective at a slower tempo. (2:55) Grade 7

5. K 46 – (E major – Presto) Another of my favourites, this sonata “makes my heart soar like a hawk” as the Cheyenne Indian would say. One of the most catchy motifs amongst all sonatas that makes one wish to dance, this is amazing music. (4:15) Grade 7.

6. K 63 (G major – Allegro) – Also known as Capriccio, this is celebratory, joyful and uplifting music that is much easier to play than it sounds. An all time favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fits the hand surprisingly well. (2:00) Grade 5.

7. K 67 (F# minor – Allegro) Toccatta like, this is a fast, dazzling sonata ideal for an encore. One of my favourites. (1:30) Grade 5.

8. K70 – (Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding on the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and hand independence. (2:05) Grade 5.

9. K 98 – (E minor – Alegrissimo) Wonderful study in rhythm with unexpected developments, suspensions and syncopations. (3:30) Grade 7

10. K 119 – (D major – Allegro) – Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of the common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords, arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive – watch out for the castanet sounds! - sonata has a very catchy, dancing motif. One of my favourites. (5:40) Grade 6.

11. K 123 – (Eb major – Allegro) – Joyful and uplifting. (4:20) Grade 7.

12. K 125 – (G major – Vivo) – This non-stop sonata will not allow you to catch your breath! Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a recital on a high note. If you are looking for a Czerny alternative look no further: it is a study for the left hand plus repeated notes, broken thirds, sixths and octaves. Also good practice for quick adjustments. (2:30) Grade 6

13. K 135 – (E major – Allegro) Dazzling finger work alternating with slow episodes in 4-voice counterpoint. Catchy and uplifiting. (4:05) Grade 7

14. K 141 – (D minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated notes over long stretches. Broken chords and skips. Virtuosic with dissonant guitar strumming in the left hand and lots of cross hands. Excellent as a study replacement. (3:30) Grade 8+.

15. K146 – (G major – Allegretto) - A nice little menuet full of humour and light. Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands. (3:10) Grade 6

16. K 342 (A major – Allegro) – Dazzling and fast, this “baroque prelude” style sonata has most of its impressive finger work in the right hand. Excellent for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier than it sounds. Great fun to play. (2:05) grade 5.

17. K 386 – (F minor - ) Another sonata full of brilliance, with fast scales and compelling harmonic progressions. (2:30) Grade 6.

18. K 405 (A major – Allegro) Based on a Spanish Buleria (a kind of Tarantella). Technically undemanding. (3:55) Grade 5.

19. K 427 – (G major – Presto quanto sia possible) Wonderfully exhilarating sonata, both to play and to listen to. The tempo direction (“as fast as possible”) gives you an idea of what to expect. A really electric and uplifting work requiring pianism of the utmost degree. Has a recurring motif that is incredibly joyful and catchy. One of my favourites (2.20) Grade 8

20. K 511 – (D major – Allegro) – A masterpiece. This is a 2 voice invention with the figurations equally distributed between the hands. Urgent and dramatic it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are minimal. (2:40) Grade 6.

Twenty “Lyrical” sonatas (Slow, reflective and tranquil. Technically unchallenging but requiring the utmost musicality – only for mature students).

1. K 25 (F# minor – Allegro) – A not too fast, beautiful two voice invention that moves in a relentless way with one of the most beautiful motifs of all sonatas. Crossing hands. Broken chords figuration in both hands. Harmonically adventurous and mood setting. A masterpiece. (3:55) Grade 5

2. K27 – (B minor – Allegro) This is my all time favourite Scarlatti sonata. A masterpiece. Surprisingly romantic, could very well have been composed by someone like Schubert. Very untypical Scarlatti. Achingly beautiful melody. Arpeggio figurations and lots of crossing hands. (3:35). Grade 8.

3. K 32 – (D minor – Aria) Lyrical sonata much easier than it sounds. Slow and melancholic. Good as a study in colouring and tone control. Although just one page long it requires some musical maturity to be truly effective. (2:25) Grade 3.

4. K 52 (D minor – Andante moderato) – Wonderful sonata, lyrical and devotional, uplifting and tranquil. Written (mostly) in 3-voice counterpoint. Another masterpiece. (5:25) Grade 7.

5. K 54 – (A minor – Allegro) – This another of my favourite sonatas. After a typical plaintive start in A minor, it suddenly displays a most romantic theme. Very unusual sonata. Hands crossing, thirds and sixths. (4:45) Grade 5

6. K 69 - (F minor -Moderato) My top favourite amongst the slow, lyrical sonatas, this is a hauntingly beautiful piece with a complex poliphonic texture. A masterpiece. (5:20) Grade 7

7. K87 – (B minor - Andante ) Intensely lyrical work of great musical depth. Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite Scarlatti sonata (4:35). Grade 7

8. K132 – (C major – Cantabile) A slow (well, sort of) A lyrical sonata with beautiful lush harmonies, haunting dissonances and arpeggios that are suddenly interrupted by a heart wrenching delicate melody based on repeated notes. One of my all time favourites. (7:25) Grade 6

9. K 197 (B minor - Andante) – Sonata in a lyric, cantabile style, moderately flowing. Expansive, sonorous qualities. (5:15) Grade 7.



10. K 203 – (E minor – 3/8) – Beautiful sonata with most of the figurations on one hand at a time. An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata together. Unusual syncopations. Requires a sizeable hand span and accurate skips in some of the figurations. (4: 50) Grade 5

11. K 208 – (A major – Andante e cantabile) – Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and luminous, this is a masterpiece. (3:35) Grade 5.

12. K 213 – (D minor - Andante ) – Another of my favourites amongst the lyrical sonatas. A slow full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity up to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to. (8:00). Grade 5

13. K 247 – (C# minor – Allegro) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (slightly reminiscent of K 69) with a weaving three voice counterpoint. Enharmonic modulations and movement into remote keys. A masterpiece. (10:00) Grade 6.

14. K 402 – (E minor – Andante - ) One of my favourites slow sonatas. Harmonically advanced and elaborate this is a masterful sonata with a superb central melody. Reflective and spiritual. (12:35) – Grade 5

15. K 404 (A major) – Beautiful lyrical sonata and technically undemanding. (8:55) Grade 4.

16. K 443 – (D major - Allegro ) – One of my all time favourites, After a rhythmic introduction characteristic of Spanish dances, a most gentle and evocative melody develops. Repeated notes. (4:10) Grade 7

17. K 461 (C major – Allegro) A beautiful sonata full of guitar sounds and Spanish nostalgia. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second part (4:00) Grade 5

18. K 466 – (F minor – Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits tranquillity and peacefulness rather then melancholy and grief. Excellent for developing rhythm awareness of triplets versus quavers. It also has 3 against 2. (5:40) Grade 8.

19. K 478 (D major – Andante cantabile) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (and one of the longest). Uses the whole keyboard. (12:00) Grade 8.

20. K 481 – (F minor – Andante e cantabile) Introspective, delicate and lyrical this could be an ideal choice for opening a recital. And if you need a study in phrasing and legato this sonata is for you! (6:25) Grade 6.

21. K 544 – (Bb major – Cantabile) – A beautiful aria, this lyrical sonata is a real gem. With occasional 4-voice couterpoint it has dignified, overlapping phrases. (4:10) Grade 5.

20 fast and dazzling sonatas:

1. K 3 – (A minor - Presto) – Electrical piece with ultra fast scale rushes. Looks easy on the page, but wait until you try to play it up to tempo (2:40) Grade 8.

2. K14 – (G major – Presto) Looking for fast (very fast) scale runs interspersed with a beautiful staccato melody? Look no further than this sparkling gigue. (3.05) Grade 7

3. K 20 - (E major – Presto) Virtuosistic sonata that is the sort of “expected” Scarlatti: guitar imitation, Spanish rhythms, fast scales in thirds, repeated notes and lots of ornaments. Great show off piece. If you want to develop a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this sonata instead. (3.00) Grade 6.

4. K 43 (G minor – Allegrissimo) Ferocious and virtuosistic sonata. (2:40) Grade 7

5. K64 – (D minor – Allegro) – A determined and energetic gavotte, one of Scarlatti’s most played and well known pieces. (1:45). Grade 6.

6. K 96 – (D major – Allegro) Another “typical” Scarlatti sonata (similar to the overplayed K 380). Richly textured. It has everything in it: Horn calls, fast repeated notes, trills, suspensions, cross relations, parallel fifths, big leaps, scale runs and guitar imitations (5.05) Grade 8

7. K 119 – (D major – Allegro) – Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of the common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords, arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive – watch out for the castanet sounds! - sonata has a very catchy, dancing motif. One of my favourites. (5:40) Grade 6.

8. K 120 (D minor – Allegro) A fast sonata full of nervous energy, this is the cross hand piece to end all cross hand pieces! Leaping bass figures, double notes in both hands. Unusual and difficult.. (4:15) Grade 8.

9. K 124 – (G major – Allegro) Tired of practising arpeggios? Try this sonata instead. A breezy arpeggio study with very fast triplet semiquavers. Uplifting and extroverted. Go and jump on a lake, Hanon!. (4: 40). Grade 7

10. K 162 – (E major - Andante) After a slow, lyrical beginning all hell breaks loose, and a fast, dazzling sonata ensues with occasional returns to the slow theme. (5:20) Grade 8.

11. K 175 (A minor – Allegro) – A vigorous impulsive sonata with most of the finger work on the right hand. The left hand (which demands a hand span covering at least an octave) plays sonorous chords and tone clusters – with up to ten notes! – imitating the strumming of a guitar. This Sonata was composed in 1752. Here Scarlatti succeeds in making conventional harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary for the period. The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and bravura. Musically, the guitar-like sounds of the left hand chords are particularly fascinating. (3:45). Grade 5

12. K 201 – (G major – Vivo) – Uplifting and dazzling. Arpeggios and thirds, another excellent replacement for technical studies. Requires brilliant figurations for both hands. (3:40). Grade 5

13. K 373 (G minor – Presto a fugato) Wonderful sonata with scales (some chromatic) alternating hands over the whole extent of the keyboard. (2:45) Grade 5.

14. K 406 – (C major – Allegro). This is joyful music that makes you want to skip and jump and dance! This is the kind of music that makes you smile for hours after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your trills and glissando-like scales. (3.05) Grade 6

15. K 421 – (C major – Allegro) One of my favourites, this is a brilliant and dazzling sonata with plenty of repeated notes. It is said to represent children running through the streets of Madrid. (3:30) Grade 6

16. K 454 (G major – Andante spirituoso) After a calm opening and nice little folk-like tune this sonata goes onto a breathless sequence of scurrying scales and broken chords over the entire length of the keyboard on both hands. Unexpected changes. Good Czerny replacement and warm-up piece. (4:50) Grade 5.

17 . K 470 – (G major – Allegretto) – Starts with determined, percussive chords, which are followed by a fast figuration of great delicacy equally shared between the hands. Good Czerny replacement and warm up. Fast and dazzling this sonata exudes confidence. (4:50) Grade 6.

18. K 487 (C major – Allegro) A percussive sonata, full of zest and unresolved dissonances that make it sound brittle and sharp. Difficult octave leaps on the left hand. (4:10) Grade 7

19. K 502 (C major – Allegro) – Inventive sonata with many original musical ideas. Starts lively in 3/8 and modulates to G minor to end the first half in G major. On the second part changes meter to 2/4 and returns to 3/8 at the end. Dotted figuration, including dotted rests. (3:55) Grade 6

20. K 513 (C major – Pastorale: Moderato – Molto allegro – Presto) One of the few sonatas written in different movements (tempos). Shepherd pipes and bagpipes drones are imitated. The final movement (presto) is exhilarating and virtuosic. This Pastorale was composed in 1756 during Scarlatti's late period. It recalls the piping of the shepherds who came down into Rome from the surrounding hills at Christmas time. They begin in a moderate tempo, the drone of their bagpipes is heard in a quicker section, and finally they celebrate in a joyful Presto. (5:40) Grade 8.

20 lyrical sonatas:

1. K 8 – (G minor – Allegro) In spite of the tempo indication this is a slow, lyrical sonata. .Melancholic and intense. (5:55) Grade 7.

2. K 30 - (G minor - Moderato) – A beautiful and complex fugue. (3:50) Grade 8.

3. K 77 (D minor – Moderato e cantabile – minuet) Painfully nostalgic and evocative lyrical sonata followed by a lively minuet. A masterpiece. (7:25) Grade 7

4. K 99 (C minor - ) – A beautiful , tranquil and lyrical sonata that grows in emotional intensity as it develops. (7:25) Grade 6

5. K 109 – (A minor – Adagio) – Beautiful lyrical writing in three and four part couterpoint. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the intermediate player. (7:35) Grade 6.

6. K 112 (Bb major - Allegro) – A beautiful, lyrical sonata. Crossing hands. (5:20) Grade 5.

7. K 147 (E minor – Lento) A beautiful lyrical and reflective sonata. (7:40) Grade 6

8. K 193 (E flat major - Allegretto) – A beautiful, lyrical sonata not too slow. (4:20). Grade 6

9. K 209 – (A major – Allegro) Uplifiting sonata, not too fast. (4:10) Grade 6

10. K 215 – (E major – Andante) – Sudden shifts of key abound in this sonata (6:00) Grade 7

11. K 259 – (G major – Andante) – A two and three voice invention. Lyrical and tranquil. Slightly reminiscent of K 208. (5:50) Grade 7.

12. K 318 (F# major – Andante) An unusual key that suggests that Scarlatti was familiar with equal temperament tuning. A lyrical and calm sonata. (6:20) Grade 7.

13. K 322 (Amajor - Allegro ) A delicate, joyful sonata with a Mozartian flavour. (2:55) Grade 6

14. K 381 – (E major – Allegro) – This beautiful two-voice invention is excellent for finger and hand co-ordination and independence. A most beautiful melody on the second part.(4:30) Grade 5.

15. K 426 (G minor – Andante) Another beautiful lyrical sonata, deeply reflective and tranquil, and not at all melancholic. Rich textures and highly musical. Very good as a study in long phrases. Sudden dramatic silences. (7:40) Grade 8.

16. K429 – (A major - Allegro) – Lyrical and gently lilting sonata. Counterpoint in three and four parts. (2:50) Grade 6.

17. K 491 (D major – Allegro) – Rhythmical percussive beginning followed by a romantic arpeggiated section (not unlike a Schubert impromptu) with a most pleasing melody. A masterpiece. (5:50). Grade 6

18. K 446 (F major - Pastorale: Allegrissimo) In spite of the tempo direction this is a relatively slow sonata, lyrical and reflexive. (5:00) Grade 6.

19. K 546 (G minor) – Written in 2 and 3 parts, this is another lyrical, melancholic sonata with a beautiful, flowing melody. Recorded by Benjamin Frith for Naxos. (5:17) grade 7

20. K 547 (G major – Allegro) – Lively and imposing sonata with a beautiful recurring motif. Two voice invention (with an occasional third voice) equally shared between hands. Effective at a slower tempo. Great warm up. (4:20) Grade 5.

[evamar]

Gracias por la lista, super.

Es sorprendente que en el virtuoso haya piezas supuestamente de nivel 5, que creo es intermedio?

Intentare alguna de las faciles, pero cuando ya empiezan diciendo nivel 3 y 4...

[lurai]

Jajaja, Super, estuve ayer a punto de poner lo mismo. De hecho tengo ese post (y otros) de Bernhard puestos en favoritos. Lo que pasa es que pensé que luego Teclas me iba a pedir que lo tradujese, de esa manera tan sutil que pide él poniendo una cara tipo así y dije, ufffff, que laaargooooo.

[burgmuller]

Gracias Super, definitivamente abriré una página para Scarlatti, merecido lo tiene.

[supertorpe]

Ok, Burg, entonces te toca a ti traducirlo

[burgmuller]

Socorro!!! Se hará lo que se pueda

[Teclas]

Lo que pasa es que pensé que luego Teclas me iba a pedir que lo tradujese, de esa manera tan sutil que pide él poniendo una cara tipo así y dije, ufffff, que laaargooooo.
