🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in B-Dur K.504 L.29

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.504 is built on a two-part form in which the first and second sections are repeated, propelling the music forward as short motives are passed from one idea to the next. Its appeal lies in lively rhythms and clear harmonic changes; listening for phrase transitions and for moments when the same figure returns in a different guise reveals the vitality within its concise writing. In performance, balance the two hands, avoid rushing the smaller note values, and maintain the flow of the beat. On repeats, vary dynamics and articulation; keep decorative passages even and distinct, while shaping them with a light, supple tone rather than a hard sound.
