Testing Pianoteq Guitar Gentle with Scarlatti K 208
Most of Scarlatti's sonatas were composed for harpsichord so first I chose Blanchet harpsichord. Despite the fact I can’t play nuances of dynamics and phrasing on harpsichord, as one can on piano. BUT, It was, sounded, a bit ”cold”.
Then I tried with guitar, and wow, I like it, I think I now got it much more soft, sensitive and like a restfull timeless rendition of this beautiful little piece. It's a beautiful one in its simplicity. I think more romantic than baroque. But difficult to play for me. Using two Guitar Gentle.
Bach, Scarlatti (Domenico) and Händel were born on the same year 1685. Scarlatti and Handel met in Italy and greatly appreciated each other, but Bach never met Handel nor Scarlatti.( Google)
Hope you enjoy as much as I do and please feel free to leave any comments.
All the best, everyone
