Domenico Scarlatti — Sonata in A Major, K. 322, L. 483

[bleedinfingers]

whats the 'usual' tempo of this piece? I am considering learning it for a guitar exam. This sounds like it is around 220bpm!

[OneDayRemainsCandD]

@bleedinfingers I'm learning it for my exam it's 152

[ludacris28]

awesome.

I could never imagine that this video would one day reach

the internet :) What a surprise!! This was filmed by my friend

Carlos in Barcelona while delivering the guitar I'm playing here.

...a long time ago. Thanks everybody for the comments ;) I have to

say that I don't play like this anymore, laziness I guess!

p2nches, I'm just curious, where did you find this clip?

Thanks for hosting it anyway.

cheers, javier

[p2nches]

@JHIslander I think I found it on the Internet, too. I hope you don't mind my posting it here. Thank you, Javier.

[JHIslander]

@p2nches Hi there! No, not at all, I'm happy to read all the comments ;) cheers,

Amazing, really good rendition!! One thing I haven't found in the comments

besides being a good player is the fact that this guy is actually a guitar maker.

I tried one of his guitar long time ago. Very clear and powerful instruments with

lot's of similarities with Fleta, like the one he is playing here. I still remember

his Villa Lobos No2 Etude, he make it look so simple!

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Javier is very muisical with good understaning of the musical style of Scarlatti. I have discovered from these recrdings that I prefer the guitar to the harpsichord in many of the sonatas.

Un hora buena.

so smooth

I like it

[mberaka]

way too fast. you lose the musicality and lilt of the piece. clearly have technical skill though

[macmanue]

It's not too fast....Listen to some other players, like John Williams....He plays it about the same tempo

[painterfalls]

mi piace

[perromanchado]

lovely

[Guitarista0013]

Very Nice! Best K. 322 yet! Congrats! Just work on a little bit of musicality throughout. Its a little bit too straight forward and I think you should but more dynamics and phrasing. Overall GREAT JOB!

[dewinmoonl]

Awesome, I feel it's abit too fast

[BFGUITAR]

Very nice rendition!! I like it a lot.

[mariazamocunduacan]

very clean..congratulations..my husband also plays this pieces...but even estudying music..I invite you to checks my videos

[CezarCimpeanu1]

Very good playing you got there :). I really enjoyed it

[seyasuke]

watch tone and tempo heading into the second section, you might want to slow down for your own sake. some parts were shaky.

[melrockerguitar]

donde conseguiste la partitura??? quisiera tocar esa pieza pero la partitura que yo tenia me la robaron y ya no la he conseguido :(

[ConVivo]

Until I let my playing go 10 years ago I used to play this, but not as well as this! I think the timing is perfect - any faster would be too fast.

[subtone]

Great playing! very clean

I just started playing the same piece

[MogamboJack]

Makin' it look easy!!

[kiwibd]

oh..this is the first time i listen Scarlatti keyboard sonata on a guitar.. that's amazing! thanks for posting it.

[shai901]

you can to play this piece fast, but you must play with Dynamics (piano,forte,crescendo and diminuendo)

because without Dynamics it's very boring...

but you play beautifuly!

[cbradac]

fantastic job!

[crudosoy1]

very very nice !

check my vids

[GaleoDeus]

If you can hold the tempo and play it cleanly, go ahead and play it fast. It's Scarlatti. Baroque is about accuracy, rhythm, and delineation of voice. I thought the tempo was perfect, and it didn't waver once.

That was wonderful, thank you. Were are more videos? You're one of the best guitarists on here!

[arjunm]

basses are bit too loud, but very clean.

[fernando5821]

Too fast.

[Techmanac]

What areyou crazy, it wasnt to fast it was amazing, and i have been playing for the past 23 years

[fernando5821]

Okay, then it is too slow.

[fernando5821]

After 23 years of playing, you must be very tired.
