Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in c-moll K.158 L.4

Based on the shading and tension of c minor, this sonata is driven forward by finely detailed motion and crisp rhythms. Short motifs unfold through exchanges between the voices, creating a dialogue-like effect, while changes in light and shade make the transitions between sections especially engaging. The work has a concentrated single-movement design, in which contrasting units are combined and repetition clarifies the overall form. In performance, do not pursue speed alone; it is important to keep the articulation of each note clear and the rhythm buoyant. Rather than exaggerating dynamic changes, shape the balance between the voices while sensing the tension and release of the harmony, allowing the dramatic character within the poise to emerge.
