🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.309 L.454

This single-movement keyboard sonata is characterized by a buoyant sense of motion and an open, energetic drive. Its design is centered on a two-part form in which the opening and closing sections respond to one another, while short motives and rapid passagework are exchanged between the hands to propel the music forward. Highlights include the succession of flowing figures and the sparkle of the ornaments that appear throughout. In performance, maintain a light touch and clear articulation, while keeping the beats grouped rather than allowing the tempo to run away. This brings out the music’s transparent momentum. Ornaments should not sound mechanical; they should be shaped naturally in accordance with the direction and expression of the melody.
