🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in As-Dur K.127 L.186

Scarlatti’s keyboard Sonata K.127 condenses a clear sense of rhythm and delicate ornamentation into a concise single movement. The music unfolds through contrasts between its first and second sections, while the repeats offer an opportunity to explore changes in tone and dynamics. Rather than making the two hands move in complete unison, performers should remain aware of the exchange between phrases, allowing the musical flow to emerge naturally. Ornaments should not be rushed; they should be played lightly without obscuring the main melody, while maintaining tension through rests and cadences. Clear articulation and flexible timing bring out the work’s wit and conversational character.
