🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.132 L.457

Scarlatti’s Sonata in C major, K.132, L.457 is a single-movement work distinguished by its songful melody and finely detailed ornamentation. Within its two-part structure, the first and second sections unfold in contrast, while exchanges between melody and accompaniment and the repetition of musical figures shape the flow. The ornaments should not sound mechanically inserted; they should follow the natural breathing of the principal melody. Careful balance between the hands, clear articulation, and a steady sense of pulse are essential. Allowing the melody to sing with a sonority that avoids excessive heaviness brings out the work’s delicate appeal.
