🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in a-moll K.109 L.138

This lyrical sonata weaves a long-breathed melody and delicate ornamentation into a measured flow. It unfolds in a single movement, with its two sections responding to one another as the music progresses. The principal melody should be brought clearly to the fore, while the accompaniment remains restrained and well balanced; the ornaments should feel like natural gestures that do not interrupt the musical line. Carefully shaped phrase endings and an unhurried, gentle sense of breathing help reveal the work’s quiet tension and singing beauty. Pedaling should be used sparingly and changed with the harmony so that the texture remains clear.
