🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.220 L.342

Scarlatti’s Sonata in A major, K.220, L.342, is a light-footed single-movement work that makes effective use of keyboard motion. Short motives and figures are passed from one hand to the other, while responsive exchanges and flowing passagework propel the music forward. By sensing the balance of its two-part design, listeners and performers can more readily perceive the changes of key and the effect of repetition. In performance, the smaller notes should not be rushed; the placement of the beat and the direction of each phrase should remain clear. Ornaments should be treated naturally as part of the melodic expression, with the balance between the hands carefully controlled to preserve lightness and transparency.
