🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.42 L.S36

This concise, propulsive sonata unfolds through the lively exchange of short motifs. It is readily understood as a two-part form with repeats: material introduced in the first half is developed in the second, moving through changes of key toward a sense of resolution. The flowing interplay of fine melodic motion and harmonic change, together with the momentum leading to the close, provides much of its appeal. In performance, keep the patterns in both hands clear and coordinated while maintaining the underlying pulse and shaping the direction of each phrase. Light, unforced articulation and well-judged dynamic contrasts allow the music’s vitality to come through.
