Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.49 L.301

Scarlatti’s Sonata in C major, K.49, L.301, is a work with a bright, refined sonority and a lively keyboard character within a concise design. In its brief single movement, the music unfolds naturally, with material presented in the first half carried into the second, creating shifts in harmony and changing levels of tension. It is important to bring out the movement of each voice clearly and to treat ornamental notes lightly so that they do not interrupt the flow. Shape the phrase divisions carefully, listen to the dialogue between the hands, and use even articulation and flexible dynamics to create a transparent expressive character.
