🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in C-Dur K.549 L.S1

Within its concise design, this sonata reveals the agility of Scarlatti’s keyboard writing and a conversational character shaped by exchanges between the voices. Short motifs follow one another to propel the music forward, while repeated patterns and changes of register give definition to its flow. Preserve the character established at the opening, shape the ends of phrases carefully, keep the fine movements of the right hand even, and let the left hand provide light rhythmic support. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, allow a slight breath at rests and phrase breaks to bring out the clarity and momentum. The main appeal lies in conveying the direction of the melody even amid the decorative passagework, instead of pursuing speed alone.
