🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in A-Dur K.369 L.240

With clear linear motion and delicate ornamentation, this sonata offers the transparent texture characteristic of keyboard writing. Short motifs are passed between the hands and across different registers, while the opening and closing sections respond to one another as the music unfolds. In the repeats, avoid playing the same material mechanically; instead, pay attention to the direction of the lines and the climactic points of each phrase so that the changes in the development come through. Ornaments should be played lightly without interrupting the flow, and careful balance between the voices is essential for maintaining clear articulation and natural breathing. Rather than being driven by the smaller figures, allow the harmonic changes and the spaces created by rests to be heard, bringing a conversational quality to the work’s poise.
