It's weird to see a comment like this so highly rated yet only 3 dislikes on the vid.

Amazing skill to play this sonata on guitar. Beautifully executed!

[mustangcorners]

Beautiful playing, Eduardo. So that's what those strings are for.

[farfazzi]

Awesome. Please is there a free transcription of this?

[damirkaraganda]

Nice play, Eduardo!

[mrmolinodelahoz]

I guess that we should not be surprised that the guitar is so well suited to Scarlatti.

Plus a beautiful performance which must be very difficult to play.

[edumusic2]

Gracias

[DBJ06]

Muy bien. No sabía que habia transcripción de esta sonata.

Bellisima.

[farfazzi]

amazing.

[gtrs4life]

Brilliant! Fluid and beautiful.

[danskheste]

[jakobbangsoe]

Lo que más impacta es la maravillosa sonoridad de la guitarra construida apropiadamente para esta obra de Scarlatti e interpretada por los mágicos dedos de Eduardo Minozzi Costa, un indiscutible virtuoso y poseedor de una técnica verdaderamente sobresaliente y de toque muy personal.

[xxxbra]

Parabéns! Qualidade assustadora. Gostei mais da sua versão ao vivo do que da gravação do Barrueco! Estou de queixo caído.

[Rafanegao]

Simplesmente Incrível!!!

Edu...me espelho mto em voce cara...

Quem dera chegar ao seu nivel tecnico e tudo maais!!

Além de ser um cara super humilde, gente boa, paciente!!!

Abraços

Rafa ( do NAM )

[edumusic2]

Valeu Rafa! Tive bons professores.

[peplicus]

É bom para o Eduardo saber que ele já está sendo alvo de polêmicas. É a melhor constatação de que o músico está fazendo algo que incomoda!

[peplicus]

Perhaps you can offer, if possible, some names that please you. Or perhaps your own videos as a professional musician. Music is like soccer; many players involved, but very few stars.

[smithsherman]

Dear Peplicus,  You are asking for the truth to have

credentials.Either you recognize it as the truth

or no matter how it is dressed you will refuse it.

Would what I said make any difference if I had

played Buckingham palace every day?These stars

have devoted themselves to athleticism in lieu

of art.I don't care if they have one thousand

servants a day.Their playing will never touch

a Sabicas,Hendrix,or Robert Johnson...because it

doesn't include the soul.

[CLASSICGR75]

@smithsherman

Hendrix??? Give us a break!!! Obviouvlsy you have no general aspect of music if you compare a pop-rock guitar player (although he was an innovator to this kind of music and very loved by all of us) to classical music giants. It s not a fair comparison. And please don t use this rediculus argument that a classical guitar player like that does not give soul to his interpretation. OF COURSE HE DOES! In more ways and more detail than you can possibly imagine.

[peplicus]

Let´s give the kid a break; he´s just starting out and he will certainly get better with age. The idea of guitar competitions is abominable; but they, unfortunately exist, as I and you do.

[smithsherman]

Dear Peplicus,I am giving Eduardo a BREAK.I am telling

him honestly and caringly that he has created a serious problem in his playing.His physical technique

is 100xs ahead of his interpretive technique.

I may be one of the few professional musicians

who tells him in unmistakeable terms...to not be

another Russell,Isbin,Fisk,or Williams who just

play athletic notes and ask us to be amused.

[peplicus]

Ok. That´s a valid criticism. But does any musician (perhaps besides Glenn Gould, which, I think, we agreed upon), please you. Russell, Isbin, Fisk or Williams are not so bad as you make them out to be. And I will confess, my favorite Bach album is by Parkening. A heresy? Who cares.

[smithsherman]

The Parkening album is somewhat conservative for me...

but I definitely like it.Chris communicated more in

The Sheep May Safely Graze,than all these others

in their entire careers.I am not saying this to

patronize you.

[peplicus]

That´s good. Gould and Parkening. As for guitarrists: How about Bream? Yepes? Segovia? Alírio Diaz? George Sakellariou? Tell me who you like, and I will tell you who you are. Thanks for the comments!

[smithsherman]

On You tube.I love Pierro's Sor etude.I love

Tampalini's Giuliani.I love Cambry's Chopin

Etude #1.I love Montoya's Tientos gitanos.

I love Horowitz's Scarlatti,Chopin or anything.

Does that help?

[peplicus]

Dear Smith: I´m going to check them out, just to verify the "agogical" and "rhetorical", which you mention. That helps a lot to understand where the other person in coming from. Thank you.

[peplicus]

Dear Smith, is it really that bad? Perhaps my powers of perception are waning, while those of toleration are augmenting.

[floater156]

love your tone! inspiring!

[peplicus]

Esplêndida interpretação; imagine se Vc. gravasse isso. Mas, há tantos violonistas brilhantes no mundo que acabamos sem tempo de apreciá-los a todos.

[peplicus]

É a melhor interpretação dessa sonata e olhe que conheço a versão do Barrueco. Garoto, Vc. está de parabéns. Fico feliz em ter descoberto teu nome e tua música no TUTUBO. Saudações cruzmaltinas do Rio!

[smithsherman]

A beautiful technical achievement.If there is

something else in it other than that,it sure

isn't clear.This is the kind of Scarlatti playing

that Les Clavecinistes of the 50's and 60's like

Kirkpatrick and Marlowe were advocating.That is

...Objective,non-gestural,cere­bral,and rhythmically

terse.

Scarlatti this pedantic sure does'nt warm

my cockle shells.

[Kaitanyk]

1. No one wants to warm your cockle shell...

2. No one really cares what you think... you try to critique some of the best guitarists of this century and then expect people to take your criticism seriously.

3. Spend less time on Youtube criticizing people who are much better then you and practice.

[bytownbrown]

what edition / who's transcription is this?

[edumusic2]

Barrueco's.

[jesuisravi]

I can play this one too. Someday when you can post half-hour videos on this site I will put up my version--at least the first part of it.

[Cyrloud]

Hello

great pleasur tu see you

very difficult sonate

[bakdgreat]

my do i ever love scarlatti...especially when it is played this well

[elguitarolerno]

that sounds awsome. i was thinking of entering a competition in the UK in 2008. what do you think of villa-lobos etude 11 as a show piece?

[elcapitan117]

Wow , great performance. Wonderful tone and projection. Can you tell me who the builder of your guitar was . Thank you ...

[edumusic2]

Thanks!

My guitar is a Sergio Abreu.

One of the legendary Abreus Brothers...

[]s,

Edu

[bzeliotis]

excellent! Pity the sound quality wasn't better because I could hear your very clean fingering, beautiful dynamics and virtuoso speed.

[starlinginspector]

Fantastic playing!

[edumusic2]

Thank you!

When I have a video recording of Prelude 1 I'll put here.

And you'll be the first person I'll tell!

Regards,

Edu

[alsozoidberg]

Wow. I can't stop watching! This is really amazing. Congratulations on the win - you more than deserve it!

[alsozoidberg]

That was absolutely beautiful. The best playing I have ever seen or heard. Thankyou very much, sir. Could you one day post your interpretation of Villa-Lobos's Prelude No. 1?

[edumusic2]

Hi Stenocoma,

Yes I did.

[]s,

Edu

[stenocoma]

Did you win?

[stenocoma]

Brilliant!

[celine11810]

[edumusic2]

Thank you!

[firebreathone]
