🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in c-moll K.254 L.219

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this piece makes a strong impression through its forward momentum, concise musical materials, and clear contrasts between sections. Built on a single-movement binary form, it develops short motifs through changing patterns, while exchanges between the voices and shifts of register bring movement to the music. The streams of shorter notes should be played with even, clearly defined articulation, and the ornaments treated lightly without interrupting the flow. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, carefully shaping the direction of each phrase and the relaxation around cadences helps reveal the expressive detail within its compact design.
