🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.236 L.161

A one-movement keyboard sonata in Scarlatti’s characteristic two-part design. Its finely articulated motion creates a light, forward-driving energy, while the exchange between the right and left hands and the changes between phrases give the music a clear profile. In the repeated first and second sections, listen not only to the recurring flow but also to the harmonic shifts and changes of register. In performance, avoid rushing the fingerwork and keep the notes even, treating the short note values with crisp articulation. Shape the ornaments lightly so they do not interrupt the flow, and pay attention to the balance between the hands and the quietness of the rests to bring out the music’s transparent vitality.
