🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in c-moll K.84 L.10

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this piece condenses contrapuntal writing into a concise structure. Built on a single-movement binary form, it is driven by motifs passed between the voices and by a harmonic flow in which tension and stability alternate. Its appeal lies in the movement heard not only in the melody but also in the inner voices and bass, as well as in passages whose character changes through repetition. In performance, careful balance between the voices is essential, keeping each note clear without making the texture too heavy. Shape the direction of each phrase, and treat ornaments and smaller figures expressively rather than mechanically, so that the music speaks with natural breathing and ease.
