Scarlatti, Sonata, K. 455, harpsichord
BackDomenico Scarlatti's Sonata in G major, K. 455, accompanied by a scrolling bar-graph score. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for this video Q: Where can I get the sheet music for this piece? A: Sheet music for this can be found here: http://www.musanim.com/pdf/ScarlattiK455_Longo.pdf This is from the Longo edition, I think; I recommend the Fadini "critical" edition (published by Ricordi; expensive, but worth it). Q: Please tell me more about the composer. A: You can read about the composer here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Scarlatti Q: What instrument are you playing? A: I'm playing a sampled instrument, Gerard Atema's "Pristine Harpsichord," recorded by Frank van der Weij, and sold to me by GigaStudio. Q: What would this sound like on the piano? A: Here is Vladimir Horowitz's wonderful rendition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LemrnE-pbWk Q: What does K stand for? A: Ralph Kirkpatrick, who did a numbering of the sonatas; more about him here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Kirkpatrick Q: How and when did you make this rendition? A: I made this rendition in the early days of MIDI (1980s, I think), by laying down left hand and right hand tracks individually, not in real time. Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself? A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here: http://www.musanim.com/player/ There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first: http://www.classicalarchives.com/ Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________? A: First, check my "to do" list: http://www.musanim.com/all/MAMToDoList.html ... If the piece isn't listed, read the "Could you please do a MAM video of _________?" item on my main FAQ: http://www.musanim.com/mam/mamfaq.html#copyright ... and if you think I'd consider doing it, email me (stephen at musanim dot com). Q: The audio/video isn't very good; can I get the original?
