🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.278 L.S15

Built from concise motifs, this sonata has a clear musical flow, with lively rhythms and finely detailed ornamental figures passing vividly between the voices. Within its two-part form, in which the first and second sections correspond with one another, changes of register and exchanges between the voices create a sense of dialogue characteristic of solo keyboard music. In performance, it is important to keep the articulation crisp without making the notes sound heavy. Ornaments should be played naturally and quickly enough not to interrupt the flow, while careful balance between the hands helps clarify the melodic direction. Subtle changes of expression and dynamics on repeats can make the unfolding music feel even more vivid.
