This is a beautiful piece that I first heard played by Rafel Puyana in April of 1985 On the BBC's Scarlatti His World and Music. A program that I have still on video and plan to convert to digital so that it can be shared with the world. My understanding of this sonata is that it doesn't have a tempo marking, though most people play it Andante (correctly so in my opinion), though I have heard it played faster, much to my dismay. An excellent performance here just wish the upload was in HD.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I have looked at your very beautiful channel and have subscribed, looking forward to more fine music! Greetings from San Francisco!
I am afraid that I don't know music, but what I can tell you is that your playing is wonderful.The harpsichord is my favorite instrument, and to hear it played so beautifully and lovingly is a real treat. Thank you so much for posting this!
George, I really hope that I'll hear/see you playing in the "real life" some day in a near future; I really enjoy and appreciate both your clavecin/orgue playing
Benj - Thank you for your generous comments. I hope to revive my French language skills (not very proficient) and then travel around to your magical city. I would like to be there when you will be performing organ music, classical or jazz - and with the fine player, Philippe Audibert. - Geo
Thank you for choosing this! This sonata always intregued me: I don't "get" the opening parts. You play it much better than I ever could. Why don't you use arpeggio's?
Yes, finally warmer here amidst the corn fields. The recording is Caliope CAL 9661, distributed (then) by Qualiton - sublime playing. But, then, yours is so inspiring that I am going to hunt up K. 87 right now. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this kind comment. When music speaks directly to the soul one needs no formal training, one needs only a soul.

It is one of the best of the Scarlatti sonatas, and you play it nicely. Nice Dowd too.
