🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.336 L.337

Scarlatti’s keyboard Sonata K.336 is a clear and forward-moving single-movement work, unfolding through the crisp exchange of short motifs. Its two-part structure creates contrast between the opening and latter sections, while changes of register and finely worked passages generate momentum, bringing variety even to the repetition of the same material. A particular pleasure lies in its lightness of motion and the conversational interplay created by the phrasing. In performance, avoid making the two hands overly uniform; instead, remain aware of the direction of each voice while keeping ornaments and intricate figures clear. Rather than rushing the tempo, give careful attention to rests and pauses at cadences so that the musical outline comes through more vividly.
