🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.353 L.313

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.353 is driven by clear rhythms and a lively sense of motion, with an engaging interplay between the hands. Its concise structure can be understood as two contrasting sections, and one of its highlights is the careful shaping of phrase direction and expression through the repetitions. Keep the responses between the hands distinct, articulate the smaller note groups with clarity, and play the ornaments naturally without interrupting the flow. Use the pedal sparingly, allowing rests and harmonic changes to speak clearly and bringing out the piece’s lightness and momentum.
