🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.181 L.194

This sonata distills the concise design and lively sense of motion that are characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas. Within its single movement, the music continually moves forward, while delicate figurations and rhythmic changes create a light, flowing character. Understanding the music through the larger units of the first and second halves helps clarify the overall shape. In performance, it is important to keep each note clearly articulated while allowing ornaments and rapid passages to fit naturally into the musical flow. Rather than rushing mechanically, listen for the direction of each phrase and changes in resonance, balancing lightness with forward momentum.
