Pleno.
[2:35] (A=465)
HW3.11
- Soler, Padré Antonio: Sonata No. 21
- Several overlapping notes at the beginning suggested the idea of using the upper keyboard for the right and the lower for the left hand. It worked out
nicely because the octave doubling in the bass doesn't overwhelm as much on the softer sound. The broad leaps in the right hand nicely explore the
timbre differences in the Lower 8' voicing. Two repeated sections. Registration: Lower 8' vs. Upper 8' (Upper Laute for repeat), revert (Combination
4' + 8' vs. Upper 8' for repeat). Soler scores (with link to article about
Soler which makes special mention of this sonata).
[5:59] (A=465)
HW3.11
- Handel, George Frederick: Harmonious Blacksmith
- Famous air and five variations. Score
here.
[3:49] (A=465)
