🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.440 L.97

This keyboard sonata condenses contrast and forward momentum into a compact span, reflecting Scarlatti’s characteristic style. Within its concise structure of two sections, intricate figurations and ornamental passages unfold, while repetition gives the music a clearly defined profile. Its appeal lies not only in its light, lively motion, but also in carefully shaping phrase divisions and harmonic changes. In performance, aim to combine clear articulation in the right hand with a steady sense of pulse in the left, taking care not to rush the ornaments and remaining aware of the direction of each figure. Use the pedal sparingly to avoid blurring the sound and preserve its clarity.
