🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.340 L.105

Scarlatti’s Sonata in C major, K.340, L.105, condenses clear rhythms and a dialogue between the hands into a concise single movement. Repeated figures and broken chords sustain the musical flow, while the two-part form brings the changing tonal areas and the character of the cadences into relief. It is important to organize the movement of each voice and fit the ornaments naturally into the pulse. Maintaining a light articulation while shaping the direction of each phrase and the gradations of dynamics brings out both the transparent sonority and the work’s forward momentum.
