by:
Martha Masters
This first lesson of three by Martha Masters will cover Scarlatti’s Sonata K213, one of his longer and more thought-provoking works. For this video, shell share some thoughts about transcriptions, and general stylistic approaches that work for the whole piece. Her purpose is to share ideas for you think about, rather than give a tutorial for how to play the piece “her way”. She encourages you to know the piece just as well as you know the “terrain of your local neighborhood” and decide for yourself how to navigate it successfully. This piece lies nearly perfectly on the guitar, with only a few octave displacements needed. However, it’s important to be aware of a few traps and pitfalls that guitarists run into.
