🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.330 L.55

Within its brief span, this sonata condenses Scarlatti’s characteristic momentum and the nimble character of writing for the keyboard. Its clear structure consists of two sections, in which distinctive figures are repeated, making the musical flow increasingly secure through the repeats. The fine passagework and broken chords should be played with clarity and evenness, without excessive force. Ornaments should be handled naturally so that they do not interrupt the pulse, while careful balance between the hands brings out the lightness and vitality of the music, as well as the tension leading toward the cadences. In the latter part of each section, shaping the expression through rhythmic clarity and awareness of harmonic change, rather than relying only on increased volume, leads to a more convincing performance.
