🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.122 L.334

The music unfolds around short thematic ideas, driven forward by clear rhythms and finely detailed motion. Completed in a single movement, the sonata is based on a binary form, while changes of key and recurring material create variety from one passage to the next. The contrast between lighter passages and moments of greater tension, as well as the exchange of phrases, is especially rewarding to hear. In performance, rapid notes should remain unhurried and clearly articulated, with ornaments integrated naturally into the musical flow. Careful balance between the hands, subtle dynamic changes, and a clear sense of direction toward cadences bring out the work’s poised yet lively character.
