: : Gentlemen, and I assume you all are, I would like to point out that anyone playing Scarlatti sonatas knows what it feels like to play classical guitar...but even better!! I wrote to Arnold explaining that the best guitarists in the world wish they could match the performance of a DS sonata on the harpsichord.
: : I've just finished listening to Scott Ross' K 296, 297, 298, and 299 and I'd swear I heard two and three guitars playing that stuff.

: And that's why I am so frustrated! We simply can't imitate this wonderful guitaristic sound of the harpsichord on the piano!
: Is this a mandoline playing in K. 298?! Because it reminds me so of a beautiful croatian island at the Adriatic coast where I spent so many unforgivable moments of my childhood! Those wormy nights in the tiny streets of a beautiful little touristic fisherman's town, and the groups of singers singing the popular croatian songs accompanied by, You guess, mandolines!

Marko,
Not only do I hear a mandolin, but I see an ethnic wedding (somewhere in Italy) with Sephardic overtones (pardon the pun)...and lots of happy dancers.
