🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.269 L.307

This sonata allows the listener to savor the concise repetition of motifs and conversational development that are characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas. Built on a single-movement binary form, it moves forward as the material presented in the first half changes its shape in the second, while shifts of key and the placement of cadences shape the musical flow. The finely detailed passagework should be played with even, clearly articulated notes, and the ornaments treated lightly within the beat. Listening carefully to the two voices, avoiding excessive reliance on the pedal, and shaping the phrases with clear articulation and natural breathing will bring out its refined vitality.
