Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata in F minor - L. 118 played by Akin Unver (chapman stick)

This is my interpretation of Scarlatti's hauntingly beautiful F-minor Sonata (L. 118 - K. 466 - P. 501). I am playing the sonata on a 12-string chapman stick with mirrored 4ths tuning. Also I have transposed the original F-minor into D-minor as it sounded better on stick.

Definitely listen to the Vladimir Horowitz and Emile Gilels interpretations of this.

Very beautiful playing! Why did you decide to uncross your hands for this song? What kind of pickup/effects are you using to get that very nice tone? I hope you play more baroque/classic pieces, it's awesome!

Hello; crossed vs. uncrossed playing is a big debate among the stickist community. Uncrossed players generally do this in order to avoid two hands bumping into each other in particular positions and allow full fret accessibility for both hands. Crossed players generally emphasize the ergonomic benefits and the fact that Emmett Chapman had thought of this playing style when he was creating the Stick. Both styles have different benefits and drawbacks. I play both styles depending on the song.

are you playing from music? if so would it be possible to post the arrangement? as in fingering and all? please?

it would be much appreciated! thanks

yine çok güzel çalmışsın. tebrikler. ama benim merak ettiğim bir nokta var. hiç canlı izleme şansım olmadıysa da chapman stick çalan birini, gördüğüm tüm chapman stick videoları hep solo. herhangi bir orkestra var mı içinde chapman stick olan yahut abartalım chapman stick çalan herhangi birine eşlik eden herhangi bir orkestra var mı? kendi parçalarında yaptığın gibi ebowlarla bile şenlenen bu aleti bir de başka enstrümanların arasında duymayı isterdim...

Tesekkurler. 'chapman stick band' olarak ararsan grup videolari cikiyor. Greg Howard Band olarak da deneyebilirsin. King Crimson veya Tony Levin Band diger iki tanesi.

Mechanically, it's an electric guitar and an electric bass in the same instrument. But the community like to think of it as it's own instrument for good reason. It's played with aspects drawing from legato on bass and guitar (tapping), piano (bass and melody) and percussive techniques.

They are sweet as.

You are a good musician ;)
