🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.114 L.344

This is a concise, compact sonata supported by a light sense of motion and clear rhythmic drive. Fine-scale movement in the notes creates the musical flow, while changes of key and expansion of register provide momentum within the binary form with repeats. Ornaments and rapid passages should be played with clarity and a well-defined touch, without interrupting the flow. Bringing out the right-hand melody while keeping the left hand light, and avoiding exaggerated dynamic effects, helps balance clarity with vitality. Use the pedal sparingly to prevent blurred sonorities, and carefully shape the direction and cadences of each phrase to bring out the work’s poised character.
