🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.250 L.174

Within the concise single-movement design characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, a clear presentation of thematic material is set against contrasting passages. Melodic lines and accompanying figures passed between the hands, together with delicate ornaments, create a sense of flow and vitality, while the repeats reinforce the character of each section. In performance, it is important not to play the patterns mechanically, but to balance the voices and shape the direction of each phrase. Ornaments should be treated lightly, without disturbing the rhythmic flow; careful breathing at sectional divisions and clear articulation bring out the work’s well-balanced structure and engaging conversational quality.
