🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.277 L.183

This one-movement keyboard sonata is marked by a lively flow and a clear rhythmic character. Its first and second halves form a contrast, while delicate motion and ornaments add brilliance to the music. A particular point of interest is the momentum created as short motifs are passed from one passage to another, together with the changes in expression shaped by the phrase divisions. In performance, it is important to organize the two hands clearly and bring out the melodic line with crisp articulation. Ornaments should be integrated naturally into the rhythmic flow rather than played mechanically, and restrained pedaling helps keep the contours of the sound distinct and convey the sonata’s lightness.
