Abstract

During her Spanish tour at the beginning of 1911, Wanda Landowska played a recital in Valencia, where she also had the opportunity to meet the young José Iturbi, who was to become her disciple from that moment. This paper starts from this pedagogical encounter and, through a reflection based on the theoretical principles that guided instrumental interpretation in the mid-eighteenth century and the hemerographic analysis of some of the Valencian newspapers of the time, analyzes two performative proposals of the Sonata K27 by Domenico Scarlatti from two historical audiovisual recordings of both artists.
