🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.202 L.498

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.202 condenses clear melodies and crisp rhythmic motion into a concise single-movement design. Built around a two-part structure in which the first and second sections develop contrasting ideas, it gains momentum through the exchange of short motives and changes in register and harmony. In the repeats, it is effective to avoid mechanical duplication and to introduce ornamentation and dynamic variation naturally. In performance, organize the overlapping voices so that the melody remains prominent, while maintaining a light touch and a steady sense of pulse. Rather than rushing the tempo, carefully articulate the endings and transitions of each melodic phrase to bring out the expression within the work’s concise structure.
