🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.320 L.341

Within a concise binary form, this sonata concentrates Scarlatti’s wit and forward-driving energy into a musical dialogue. Lively rhythms and finely articulated figures create the flow, while exchanges between the hands and recurring ideas propel the music forward. Material presented in the first half is transformed and developed in the second, passing through changes of key before returning to the tonic. In performance, avoid making the sound too heavy, and keep the outlines of each figure and the bounce of the beat clear. Ornaments should be handled naturally so they do not interrupt the flow; attention to phrase direction and the brief breaths at rests brings out the music’s transparent vitality.
