🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.156 L.101

This keyboard sonata by Scarlatti is marked by crisp rhythms and clear, lively motion. Within its single movement, short motifs are passed between voices and drive the music forward, while contrasts between the first and second halves shape its progress. It is important to maintain a light sense of momentum while carefully observing phrase endings and rests. Rather than making the hands sound overly uniform, performers should be aware of the direction of each phrase and keep the inner voices transparent to bring out the music’s vitality. Ornamentation and smaller figures should not be rushed; clean, well-defined articulation highlights the work’s witty and engaging character.
