🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.208 L.238

A lyrical sonata centered on a gentle, songful melody, with ornaments and broken-chord accompaniment woven together delicately. Within a structure in which the first and second halves respond to one another, the exchange of short phrases and shifting harmonies sustains a quiet sense of tension. The phrasing should breathe naturally, while the right-hand ornaments must not disturb the pulse and should be played as an integral part of the singing line. Keeping the left hand light and transparent, and listening carefully to the balance between voices and the resonance of rests, brings out the work’s intimate character.
