🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.145 L.369

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.145 condenses delicate movement and a clear rhythmic character into a concise single movement. Based on a binary form, it unfolds through contrasts between the two sections, while shifts of tonality give the music forward momentum. In the repeated sections, the expression can be broadened by varying the ornaments and dynamics rather than repeating the same material mechanically. Without rushing the tempo, performers should maintain a crisp touch and light articulation while shaping the direction of each phrase and remaining attentive to harmonic points of arrival.
