Hi Calin!,

Scarlatti's fandango is indeed one of the most attractive pieces I've ever heard...and one of the most difficult technically if we try do play on the piano exactly what Mayako Soné plays on harpsichord(are we pianists or not...?). Now, here I must thank again my dear friend S. Christian Collins for making me discover(by mp3s)it! In fact, due to him, I already heard two other interpretations by Raphael Puyana and Yukka Tiensuu! All those three versions are completely different! Why's that? Someone discovered the mcript(probably made by some Scarlatti's copyist who heard him improvized fandango)! In this mcript only the major ideas were marked, so now it's up to interpreter to make his own improvization...That's why You won't be able to find any publication or score of what Mayako Soné plays! There is however certain Rosario Alvarez who made a transcription of the mcript and that's probably what our three harpsichordists saw before making their own fandango! Again, Chris sent me that transcription! On the other hand, as I prefered Mayako Soné's version, I spent two whole days to write by ear what Mayako plays(sorry, but that was the only way to be able to play exactly Mayako's version)! Of course, I compared it with Alvarez's transcription and here it is: maybe one day Chris and I will publish our version!
Good luck!

Marko
