🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.117 L.244

This sonata condenses a lively sense of motion and clear exchanges between phrases into a short single movement. The musical flow becomes easier to grasp when the contrast between the two halves is understood as a binary structure. In the quick passagework, each note should remain distinct without losing the direction of the melodic line, while a steady sense of pulse is maintained. Ornaments should not be played mechanically; instead, their connection with the surrounding notes should be made audible. Careful balance between the hands, along with subtle changes of expression on repeats, brings out the momentum and conversational character within the concise writing.
