🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in cis-moll K.247 L.256

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this is a work that invites the listener to focus on introspective expression rather than rapid virtuosity. Within a single movement based on a binary form, its singing melody and shifting harmonies unfold with care. The ornaments should not interrupt the melodic flow; performers should consider their values and their relationship to the surrounding notes. Clear balance between melody and accompaniment, together with a steady sense of pulse and naturally breathing phrases, brings out the delicate shading. Pedaling should be used sparingly so that the harmony remains clear.
