About the event
We are excited to be joined for the first time in our C. Bechstein Centre Manchester recital series by multi-award winning pianist Jasmin Allpress!
The evening's programme will be:
Scarlatti
Sonatas k135 in Emajor and k247 in C sharp Minor (1749)
Domenico Scarlatti is particularly distinguished for his remarkable series of 555 surviving keyboard sonatas, written while employed at the Spanish court in Madrid largely as exercises for his pupil the Infanta Maria Barbara, who became Queen of Spain in 1746. Scarlatti triumphed over the heavy Baroque style with his characterful themes, natural cantabile melodies, and dance-like movements and was considered the first keyboard virtuoso. These two, one movement sonatas complement each other with their respective brightness of the major k135 and intimate k247.
Bartok
