🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.189 L.143

The music moves forward through the exchange of short motifs, while dialogue between the hands and delicate ornamentation create a sense of lively motion. The two sections shape the overall flow through contrasting expressions, so it is worth listening for changes on their repeats. In performance, clarity is more important than simply pursuing speed: maintain an even, articulate touch and treat the ornaments as a natural part of the melodic movement. Carefully marking phrase divisions and refining the contrasts in dynamics will further bring out the sonata’s lightness and momentum.
