Mozart sonata k. 283 1st movement Scarlatti sonata k 1

Meanwhile the fortepiano was a bit out of tune...

To say out of tune is an 'euphemism' ....sincerely I wouldn't know when a fortepiano is truly in tune. You are very good anyway, you really play well. Playing Scarlatti on a harpsichord can't be easy,

A big good luck for tomorrow

I assure you it will be less out of tune than you might think!!! I even had the tuning key but only an hour and a half to try everything.

Scarlatti on a harpsichord, from a certain point of view, is simpler than on the piano.

anyway, there's no point beating around the bush... harpsichord, clavichord, fortepiano and piano are 4 instruments in the end, they are all different

the fortepiano has different balances, timbres and consequently different requirements... and it is one of the reasons why I think that tomorrow in the end I will also shorten Mozart's two ritornellos a bit.... although definitely less than Scarlatti's

Good luck!!!

Damn!

anyway, I also wish you a HUGE good luck!!!!

it's true, the fortepiano sounds out of tune to me too, but I like it very much..... it's at 430 Hz, right? and it's true, I hear it more out of tune, especially in the highs, compared to what I heard in the other post "anton Walter".

the fact that the black and white keys were inverted was just an aesthetic issue, right?

sorry for the silly questions due to my ignorance, but for me you are the first fortepianist.... and you are also very willing to share what you know, which is not something everyone does!

good luck again!!!...

Yes, the fortepiano is at 430 and the harpsichord at 415, and yes, the highs were out of tune, but I didn't have time to start tuning it yesterday; the teacher will do it today before the final rehearsal,,, although surely it will need a touch-up during the performance... being only wood, it goes out of tune easily... I can't tell you how bad it is after another boy played Beethoven's op. 7 on it...

Regarding the boxwood and ivory inversion, I am not very well informed, but Viennese and French instruments were all like that until late 1800; Italians and Germans were not.

I would definitely say the recital/concert went very well!! I just got back

A good Scarlatti, a bit 'dirty'... but passable even according to my teacher... and a standing ovation for Mozart! I had to leave a second time! And I must say that my own teacher said that I raised the level of the evening! And on the program there was also Bach's prelude and fugue, so... well, it was a quite good performance... I masked those few slips well, and as my teacher always said, finally something musical!

I am very pleased!! Congratulations!! This morning I was thinking about reading how it went... I was hoping you would update us!

Very well. Congratulations on the success!

Thank you!

Great!! compliments...

Congratulations !!!!! Many rounds of applause, I am very pleased with Mozart.!!!!Bravo!!!!!

Thank you thank you again!

I played this same Mozart recording and someone told me that I breathe too much and it has no color....and that according to him, Mozart should all be in tempo without breaths...

I avoid responding to this ca@@t... Tell whoever responded to you that way to study properly and to listen better to Mozart, especially the orchestral works, because from what they are saying, I don't think they even know one of them.

Saturday I will record them again with my teacher's equipment, who wants to put an example of what was done in the workshop on the school website.

Homework for the holidays....hahahaha it feels like I'm back in high school at almost 30 years old: finish the entire sonata, we spent about an hour reading through the other two movements, study Rondo 511 and even the aria variata in the Italian style of Bach... in short, this summer I have to study an entire concert program!

And there are also various projects in the works for now...
