🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.407 L.S4

This sonata condenses the appeal of Scarlatti’s keyboard writing into a concise structure and a clear sense of motion. Repeated short motives and exchanges between registers shape the musical flow, while awareness of the contrast between the first and second halves helps clarify the overall design. Performers should distinguish the role of each voice, keep the ornaments from becoming overly heavy, and use light, articulate phrasing. In the repeats, subtle changes in dynamics and tone color rather than a literal repetition can bring out the sense of forward motion and the conversational quality of the music.
