Jazzy Friday is my 10 part series where I present the piano pieces of the Junior Jazz 1 Series by Herman Beeftink. This is a great book to start in Jazz Piano. The melodies are catchy, the chords pretty cool. On the left page there are always exercises for rhythmic patterns and on the right is the piece. "Gumdrops“ is written in Chillout Jazz Piano Solo Style.
For a relaxing weekend check out my 80 minutes Ghibli Playlist:

![[Tiffany Poon inspired] Scarlatti Piano Sonata K.9 in d minor](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g4EC1TIJNkA/mqdefault.jpg "[Tiffany Poon inspired] Scarlatti Piano Sonata K.9 in d minor
Performing this particular Piano Sonata K9 in d minor by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) was inspired by a performance of Tiffany Poon which deeply moved me. Her goal is to work against „dehumanization“ of Classical Music by showing the whole process of preparing a performance including the personal and professional struggles musicians have in their lives instead of just showcasing the final product of a ”flawless performance“. Her contribution for bringing classical music to a broader audience through her YouTube channel is enormous. Please check also out her performance:
https://youtu.be/LqUCU3ObDIc
Scarlatti composed an incredible number of 555 cembalo sonatas in very distinctive style. He enjoyed experimenting very much and included a lot of Spanish folk tunes and dances by ordinary people into his music since he worked for the Spanish court from age 16. Scarlatti was born in Neapel/Italy and passed away in Madrid/Spain.
What I personally like about this particular sonata is the swinging 6/8 bar, the trills and the crisp sound.
