🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in c-moll K.174 L.410

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this piece moves forward by passing short motives between the hands, while fine ornamentation and crisp rhythmic energy propel the music. It is based on a repeated binary form, and following how the material presented in the first half reappears in altered form in the second makes the role of each section easier to understand. In performance, ornaments should not be played mechanically; it is important to clarify the metrical framework and the direction of each phrase. Listening carefully to the individual voices and shaping light articulation and graduated dynamics brings the tension and momentum vividly to life.
