🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.358 L.412

This concise and propulsive sonata places intricate movement and clear rhythmic energy at the forefront. Its design is shaped around two main sections, each repeated, allowing the listener to follow the flow of the music while appreciating the contrast between phrases and the approach to each cadence. Melodic, song-like ideas emerge amid the lively motion, so the right-hand figures should remain crisp and well defined, while the left hand should support the harmony without becoming too heavy. Ornaments should not be played mechanically; they need to follow the rhythmic flow and rhetorical character. On repeats, changes in dynamics and tone color can bring added expressive richness to the compact form.
