🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.177 L.364

This sonata moves forward through the exchange of short motifs, distinguished by a light sense of motion and bright momentum. Hearing it as a two-part structure in which the first and second sections create contrast makes the changes of key and development through repetition easier to follow. The delicate passages should be played with a light touch, while ornaments and leaps should be kept clear and even. Rather than making the two hands sound overly uniform, focus on the direction of the melody and the peaks of each phrase to create natural breathing within the lively motion. Avoid rushing the tempo, and clarify rests and breaks between motifs so that the dialogue between the sections comes into sharper relief.
