🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.128 L.296

This sonata distills the drive and agile character that are central to Scarlatti’s keyboard writing, drawing considerable energy from concise musical materials. Within its two-part structure, short motifs and finely shaped figures develop and, through repetition, bring shifts in character and texture. The exchanges between the hands and the ornaments should be handled lightly, without interrupting the flow of the melody. Clear, even articulation is essential, while dynamic contrasts should not be exaggerated. Keep the pedal restrained, using it mainly to support the resonance; allowing rests and phrase divisions to speak will bring out the music’s transparent momentum and finely balanced structure.
