🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.225 L.351

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this piece stands out for its clear rhythmic character and finely detailed movement of notes. It is a single-movement work in binary form; repeating each half makes it easier to follow the development of the musical material and the changes of key. The succession of lively passages calls for even fingerwork and clear articulation. Ornaments should be handled naturally without disturbing the rhythmic flow, while the exchanges between the hands and changes of register should be carefully brought out. Keep the pedal restrained enough to avoid blurring the sound, and maintain the forward momentum while shaping phrase divisions and the direction of cadences; this brings out the appeal of the concise writing.
