🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in a-moll K.7 L.379

This single-movement sonata unfolds through a succession of finely detailed figuration and ornamental patterns, with the two hands responding to one another across the keyboard. Understanding it as a binary form with repeats of the first and second sections makes the changes of key and the overall flow easier to follow. In the lively passagework, evenness and clarity of touch are essential, while the ornaments should be articulated naturally without disturbing the rhythmic flow. Listening for the movement of each voice, avoiding exaggerated dynamics, and maintaining clear articulation with a steady tempo brings out the animated dialogue and sense of tension.
