🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.285 L.91

Scarlatti’s Sonata in A major, K.285, L.91 is a single-movement work with a bright, sunny sonority and a light sense of forward motion. Based on a binary form, it unfolds through contrasting first and second sections, with the left-hand accompaniment seeming to respond to the right hand’s finely articulated motion. The rhythmic vitality created by ornaments and recurring figures is a particular highlight. Performers should clarify the direction of each phrase while maintaining a clean touch that avoids heaviness. Careful balance between the voices and subtle changes of expression on the repeats further enhance the work’s lively character.
