🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in c-moll K.99 L.317

Among Scarlatti’s sonatas, this work condenses varied expression into a concise binary design. In the first and second sections, exchanges between motifs and phrases create a changing flow, while repeated short figures and conversational movement keep the music moving forward. Carefully listening for the cadences and changes of key in each section helps clarify the structure. In performance, it is important to balance the two hands, keep the fine musical motion clear, and shape the ornaments with natural breathing rather than playing them mechanically.
