I played a ton of Scarlatti and Soler at a short California tour early this year (different sonatas than for this disc by and large) and was shocked at how tricky it is to keep 12 short (3-4 min) pieces in your hands versus one or two longer works… the brevity of the forms makes it much more of a challenge, at least to me

not to mention my giant hands make all the small technique in these works much harder than scrib for example hahaha

Yeah sum of those baroque techs pretty insane plus super easy to mess up cuz it’s exposed

Hope you include at least one well-known overplayed Scarlatti tho

don’t worry, I’ve got K.513, K.175, and this one also on the list… not crazy overplayed but certainly played

Btw the engineering quality of those live recs already top notch

Thanks man, I got lucky that at one of the concerts I had a really good video and sound engineering team… At others I am often at the whim of a portable recorder which I bring around (this recording was originally of a pretty low quality, but I amateur fucked around with it for a while to try to get it listenable)
