🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.222 L.309

This sonata combines a clear subject with delicate figuration within a concise single movement. The material introduced at the opening develops through changes of key and register, while the contrast between its two sections gives the work a firm overall shape. Even within its lively flow, it is important to listen carefully for the phrasing and harmonic changes. In performance, the right-hand melody should remain clear while the left hand is kept from becoming too heavy. Rather than rushing the ornaments and finer figures, balance rhythmic momentum with a natural sense of expression to bring out the music’s transparent sonority.
