🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.301 L.493

A lively sense of motion and delicate figuration shape the piece, while the repetition of short motives and ornamental passages gives the music a pleasing momentum. Within its single movement, the first and second halves offer contrasting ideas, with exchanges between voices and a clear sense of phrase direction providing important points of interest. In performance, begin with crisp articulation and an even, clearly defined touch, while allowing the ornaments to flow naturally within the musical line. Rather than being driven by the quick figuration, maintain a steady rhythmic pulse and broad phrasing, and carefully bring out changes in dynamics and tone color from one passage to the next. This highlights the work’s vitality and elegance.
