🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.157 L.405

This single-movement keyboard sonata is driven by clear rhythms and a lively sense of motion. It follows a binary form in which two sections create contrast, while the exchange of short motives and changes of register generate continuous momentum. Highlights include passages where the roles of melody and accompaniment shift as the music unfolds, as well as the growing tension toward the close. In performance, keep the right-hand melody clear while maintaining a light left hand, and aim for even articulation in the detailed figurations. Ornaments should be shaped naturally without interrupting the flow; restrained use of the pedal and crisp attacks help bring out the work’s agile character.
