🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.237 L.308

This keyboard sonata is marked by clear rhythmic momentum and a light, flowing exchange of musical ideas. Short motives unfold in succession, while the melody and accompaniment pass between the hands, carrying the music forward. Listening for the contrast between the first and second halves helps clarify the overall shape. In performance, avoid connecting the notes too heavily, and give careful definition to the ornaments and repeated notes. Keeping the tempo steady and maintaining a balanced relationship between the hands, while allowing a slight space at the ends of phrases, brings a singing quality to the music’s agility.
