🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.385 L.284

This sonata is distinguished by its lively momentum and clear, conversational character. As a single-movement sonata, it presents material in the first half that is developed in the second, inviting the listener to follow the contrasts and correspondences between the sections. Exchanges and repetitions of short phrases generate forward motion, while clear points of articulation emerge within the intricate movement. In performance, it is important not merely to play the notes evenly, but to maintain the flow of the beat and shape the direction of each phrase. Light ornaments and clearly balanced voices bring out the music’s vitality and transparent sonority.
