Sonata in E-flat major - K307/P449/L115 Sheet Music by Domenico Scarlatti

Only 24 bars long, technically unchallenging grade 3 , and yet one of the most beautiful sonatas. Slow paced and exuding tranquillity, this reflective piece is the best of the four. Although this should be played fast, it is still effective if use a slower tempo. This is a one-movement sonatina only 49 bars long that sounds much more difficult than it actually is.

Bach Prelude and fugue no. A hilarious fugue with chopsticks on the RH and very fast scales over two octaves on the LH. Solo per il Cembalo, W. Sonata in G Op. It sounds far more difficult. Omit the ornaments for the early beginners. Very easy, but due to the unexpected skips it teaches one to think ahead. Excellent for forearm rotation and bringing the bass melody over the mist of sound created by the very fast RH. Hands swap figurations occasionally, so both hands get a workout. Beginners can easily master this movement at slow speed.

More advanced beginners can start working on speed. How to work for speed, how to get accuracy, etc. Wonderfully tonal and yet very modern. Broken chords figuration in both hands. Harmonically adventurous and mood setting. An all time favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fits the hand surprisingly well. One of my favourites. This Sonata was composed in Here Scarlatti succeeds in making conventional harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary for the period.

The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and bravura. Musically, the guitar-like sounds of the left hand chords are particularly fascinating.

An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata together. Requires a sizeable hand span and accurate skips in some of the figurations. Tranquil and luminous, this is a masterpiece. A slow, full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity up to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to. Excellent for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier than it sounds. Great fun to play. A most beautiful melody on the second part.

Good Czerny replacement and warm-up piece. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second part. With occasional 4-voice couterpoint it has dignified, overlapping phrases. Two voice invention with an occasional third voice equally shared between hands.

Effective at a slower tempo. It is a bit more difficult though. Both of these however are not quite full-fledged sonatas they were most likely composed as exercises for his students. It is considered to be around grade 7, but if you can manage grade 5 pieces, you can manage grade 7. Main difficulty is pedal use. The melody is in the left hand while the right hand plays a repeated but complex dotted rhythm pattern. Fast and delicate with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no difficulty at all in the left hand. Difficult to play at full speed but easy if played slowly and still effective Recorded by Ivo Pogorelich for DG.

Great show off piece.

If you want to develop a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this sonata instead. The main difficulty is to be found in the several bars where the hands cross. There are some thirds and sixths but they are easily negotiable. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the intermediate player. Fast repeated notes, broken chords, arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a recital on a high note. Also good practice for quick adjustments.

One of my all time favourites. Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands. Dramatic and powerful, this 2 voice invention with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of the second part is still effective at a slower tempo. Enharmonic modulations and movement into remote keys.

This is joyful music that makes you want to skip and jump and dance! This is the kind of music that makes you smile for hours after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your trills and glissando-like scales. It is said to represent children running through the streets of Madrid. Counterpoint in three and four parts.

Sonata in E-Flat Major, K307: Allegro

Allegrissimo In spite of the tempo direction this is a relatively slow sonata, lyrical and reflexive. Good Czerny replacement and warm up. Fast and dazzling this sonata exudes confidence. And if you need a study in phrasing and legato this sonata is for you! Dotted figuration, including dotted rests. This is a 2 voice invention with the figurations equally distributed between the hands.

Urgent and dramatic it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are minimal. Sonatas Almost forgotten these days and almost never played, his sonatas are real gems. Again, all of the sonatas are around grade , so you should be able to manage. I particularly like w62 in G. The LH mostly plays broken octaves, skipping over two octaves.

Excellent for skip accuracy. And it is a wonderful, hauntingly beautiful piece. Marche Funebre 7 Chopin Sonata no. This is a fast virtuoso piece, very good as an encore. Slow and slightly lugubrious, it would make quite a good piece to play before an intermission. Allegro ben ritmato e preciso This is my favourite of the three and the most difficult.

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

Good preparation for Chopin Op. Look no further than this sparkling gigue. Excellent for waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both hands. Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece. Equally effective at a slower tempo. Written mostly in 3-voice counterpoint. Spend sometime analysing its structure before tackilng it at the piano. Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite Scarlatti sonata. Try this sonata instead.
