🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.212 L.135

Built on a concise single-movement binary design, this sonata moves lightly as short motives are passed between the hands. The material presented in the first half is developed in the second, making the dialogue between phrases and changes in sonority especially rewarding to follow. In performance, it is important to balance the dynamics between the hands and keep the rapid passages clear and even. Ornaments should be handled naturally without interrupting the flow, while maintaining a sense of direction through the ends of phrases to bring out the work’s momentum and elegance within its compact form.
