🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.343 L.291

Characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this work brings lively rhythms and delicate ornamentation to a concise one-movement design. As you listen for the contrast between the opening and closing sections, notice how short motives seem to pass from one voice to another and how the voices respond to each other. In performance, keep the notes crisp and light while preserving the direction of each phrase. Ornaments should not sound mechanical; shape them naturally according to the flow of the beat and the harmonic changes. A well-balanced interplay between the hands will bring out the music’s vitality and transparent sonority.
