- Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Sonata in D minor, K.141 by Domenico Scarlatti.
I will tell you about phrasing, timing, pedaling, and then we will put everything together.
Before learning this sonata, I highly recommend exercising the repetition technique to avoid struggling with it later on when you want to increase the speed.
This video will show and explain how to implement this technique properly.
You can download the sheet music from the link below, where I wrote down the fingerings.
I believe it will help you play it more comfortably, as the fingerings play a crucial role in this sonata.
I hope you will enjoy it!

perfect
Thank you so much
Woah this is soo good, I love the sound of this piece and this tutorial is literally masterclass. I'm finishing this piece and I am only grade 5 and 12 years old.
:]
Thanks buddy! Keep up the good work ;)
In reality this piece is not fast, Scarlatti had designed it to reproduce the sound and rhythm of the guitars, in fact he wrote 3/8 in key
16:22 "You know, if you can do it slowly, you can do it fast."
Great video!! Really helped me with the repetition part and the other bits! Just wondering what can I do if my piano is not responding quick enough on the repetition part? I am 100% sure that it is my piano because I can play perfectly on other pianos.
Cool
Hahaha i décide to learn clavecin. Thank a lot for sharing your technic! .
Thanks for the input! Greetings from Germany, I came here because I can play this piece on a Grand Piano from my children's school and on a Synthesizer, but I tried a Clavinova video I couldn't do so well, I tried a Roland FP30x more or less, and a digital MP7se that They are the ones I have at home but here the action is better but I can't be as fluent either, the keys of the Clavinova are not even graduated and they all weigh down to 90 Grams!! and very slow, those of the Kawai have a static weight below 70 Grams and I know that some Steinways have only 50 Grams in the C4 for fast advanced classical repertoire like this one!! Do you know of any digital piano that responds quickly like these? that at least come close? I've seen accomplished pianists try to do this on Digital pianos and they can't do as well as acoustic! How does it happen to me, what is it due to? I know the mechanisms are different, but why do digital pianos make them so heavy if acoustic pianos are generally like that? I can't afford to have an acoustic so I keep practicing at home with a Digital piano, do you know the wood actions of loa kawai ca99 for example? I would appreciate your attention 🙂
Awesome. There's so many crap tutorials out there where the pianist goes on talking about nothing for 10 minutes or says obvious thing (*ahem* Josh Wright *ahem*). You on the other hand, excellent, real, original and useful advice. Thanks a lot.
Good to hear you find it useful! Thanks.
lol 😅🤣😂
4:41 that is SOOO my aunts piano. Sounds great but almost unplayable because of how heavy the keys are
trompette en chamade 32' Heavy keys are the enemy for this Sonata..
Could be useful for practicing though! :)
謝謝!
Thank you!
"Is it you, or is it your piano? It could be both!"
I'm getting this on a t-shirt :-)
hahah :))
What should be the next from Scarlatti?
Hi, C Major K 502 by Scarlatti please?
@@robertzmijan8639 It's in my to-do list. Thanks!
Thanks for your tutorial. Next, Scarlatti Sonata in d minor, K.1, please.
K.1 is in my to-do list. Thanks!
I'd like to see K. 1 too please
I'm waaaay out of my league here. Still, some good information that hopefully will be useful.
I thought fingering was 432121 for the beginning of the right hand
This is great content! Would it be possible for you to do another one on L241?
Thank you!
I’ll put it on my to-do list :)
@@Antune Thanks a lot! I'm a new follower:) I'm an avid classical music fan and your work helps me appreciate the nuances and intricacies better.
How about Chopin Waltz in E minor.
321321 seems to be the common fingering but would 432132 be better for rhythm and less muscle fatigue? Or maybe it would be worse because of the alternating wrist movements.
I am afraid 432132 won't be better because it is not as comfortable to switch from 43213-2nd to 4th finger. If you really want to try something different, I'd suggest 432121.
@@Antune Wow I thought about the 21 but I assumed the 1 to 4 would be harder than the 2 to 4 in the 32. Thanks! 321321 it is!
1 to 4 would be more challenging, but it comes with the benefit that you don’t need much effort to make slight accents on the 1st 16th notes. Still though, I prefer 321321. Good luck!
Thanks for you great tutorial. You propose a fingering of 321321, but besides that there is 432121 often used. Can you elaborate on benefits of both fingerings ?
Thank you!
I don't see a benefit in 432121, I'm afraid.
In repetition passages, I would use the 4th finger only if there is no other option.
@@Antune OK, thanks. My teacher (graduated pianist) recommends 432121 but did not explain why. Besides that fact that 432121 is working with more ease for my personally, I see the problem of 321321 forcing the mind into thinking 2 triplets instead of 3 times 2x16th for the sake of the measure 3/8. Anyway, thanks for your opinion.
@@Antune another question: Does your argument of avoiding the fourth finger in repetitions also hold when you deal with groups of 4 instead of 6 ?
@@christianneubauer1400 No, in case there are 4 or 8 notes, I would use the 4th finger.
nice, on the repetitive, what do you think of using the fingers 4 3 2 1 2 1, instead of 3 2 1 3 2 1 ?
Thanks! 4th finger complicates the situation. After 2-1, it comes in a far position which can cause limping. It is more comfortable to control only three fingers in a balanced combination, in my opinion.
@@Antune thanks for the tipsss
Thank you for the video. But I tried to get the sheet music link with the fingering. And tried it with my 2 Email addresses but got no link.. By trying again It said an email with the link has already been sent to that address 😕
LadanzaTube Hey! I am not sure why it didn’t work. Never heard from anyone having the same issue. Please send me your email address so I can send the sheet music to you.
Thank you meanwhile with the second email Address I got it the first I tried two times still got nothing also not in spam.. Both are addresses from the same big provider so even more strange 😉
@LadanzaTube Good to hear you have it ;)
Good luck!
I would like to learn it but it doesn’t work on my digital piano. For some reason it doesn’t let me do the repetition thingy idk why
With digital pianos, the keys are responding very differently. This sonata might not be the best choice to play on a digital instrument. I am sorry!
Hope you can have the opportunity to try it on an acoustic one!
@@Antune I hope !! 😁
Shall we use sustain pedule in this
You can use the sustain pedal if you like. I tell about it more here - 22:15
Can I change my finger number 3 2 1 to 1 2 3
I wouldn't recommend. Maybe on a baroque instrument it could be an option but on a modern piano 3 2 1 is more comfortable in my opinion.
Would this repetition work on Kawai DP? I have the Cn29
I haven't tried this model. I don't know to be honest!
@@Antune that's fine
I did finally get it!
It's like the okayish version you showed in the video
Good video. What is your name?
I tried to get the sheet music. It required my email address. I never got the sheet music.
Can you try with another email address? With some e-mail services this happens and I don’t really know why. Sorry!
@@Antune I found another way to get it. Thank you for the tutorial. That was really helpful. especially he recommendation to practice slowly. THANK YOU!!
@@jeffscop Happy to hear that.
Good luck with practicing!
All the best
its not so fast
Are you Turkish 😀
I grew up in Turkey, but I am Bulgarian :)
@@Antune cool I am Turkish as well 😊
