🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.312 L.264

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this is a striking piece with finely articulated motion and crisp rhythmic energy. It is a brief single-movement sonata in a binary structure, with both the first and second halves repeated. Shifts between registers and exchanges of motifs generate momentum, giving the concise writing a lively character. In performance, it is important to keep each note clear and even while maintaining a strong sense of rhythmic drive. Ornaments should not be treated mechanically; instead, place them naturally with attention to the direction of the melody and the peaks of each phrase. Careful balance between the hands, along with subtle changes in articulation and tone on the repeats, can make the musical progression feel more vivid.
