🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.359 L.448

This keyboard sonata is driven by clear rhythms and a buoyant sense of motion, displaying qualities characteristic of Scarlatti. Based on a binary form, it develops the material introduced in the first section during the second, with the music progressing through changes of key. Listening closely to the succession of small figures and the exchange between voices brings out the momentum and conversational quality within its concise writing. In performance, it is important to maintain the flow with clear articulation rather than pressing heavily into the keys. Ornaments should be shaped naturally without disturbing the metric pulse, while subtle changes of tone and touch on repeats can bring greater expressive variety.
