Actually this is not a composition by either Alessandro or Domenico - but instead by the Mexican composer, Manuel Maria Ponce. Andres Segovia approached his friend - Ponce, to write pieces that would sound as though composed of the era. This is not the first musical 'prank' to be done by the Ponce/Segovia team. Ponce also composed a 'Preludio' in the style of Sylvius Leopold Weiss. I think Segovia got the idea from violinist Fritz Kreisler, who pulled similar stunts.
Yes - the prelude you refer to is Ponce's Prelude in E major. Segovia referred to it as a prelude by Weiss until comparative late in his career, when it had become generally known as a piece by Ponce.
I believe ponce wrote two entire suites, one in a minor attributed to weiss and one in d major attributed to scarlatti. This clip is the gavotte from the suite in d major.
@@chrisjames789 I've never heard the prelude in e major being referred to as weiss's composition, and it doesn't seem to imitate the baroque style either
Yes, he is great for his time! In his youth, he sometimes played unreasonably fast, too freely and the tempos swayed .. Later, mostly heaviness appeared and sometimes individual phrases and notes were beautifully played ...
It's not by Scarlatti. It's Baroque pastiche by the Mexican composer, Manuel Maria Ponce - part of his Suite Antigua, written in 1931 for Segovia. They realised they couldn't pass it off as Bach, so they opted for attributing it to Alessandro Scarlatti. Segovia apparently even claimed to have transcribed them from keyboard pieces found in Naples!
@@Anton_the_Vampire I believe the entire suite in still available from music publishers, Schott. There used to be a published version of the Gavotte on its own but I cannot recall who the publisher was. If I find it I'll let you know.
Поражаюсь как такой пухляк прожил больше 90лет. Да ещё видно, что брюзга. Но играет, надо отдать должное--не придерешься. Хотя не покидает чувство--человек ли играет или робот, сделанный под человека. Эта вещь в моем вкусе, как раз разучиваю. Спасибо за выкладку!
