🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.351 L.S34

This lively and lucid sonata unfolds through the crisp exchange of short motifs. Its two-part structure gives a clear overall shape: material introduced in the first half is developed in the second, with the repeats reinforcing the design. Listening closely to the streams of smaller notes, leaps, and dialogue between the hands reveals a sense of momentum and sparkling interplay within its concise writing. In performance, it is important not to pursue speed alone, but to maintain the flow of the beat while keeping each figure clear and even. Ornaments should not sound mechanical; they should help convey the direction of the main melody. A little breathing at the ends of phrases allows lightness and expression to coexist.
