🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.388 L.414

This keyboard sonata by Scarlatti is distinguished by crisp rhythms and clear exchanges between phrases. Within a two-part structure in which the first and second sections are each repeated, short motifs develop and give the music a strong sense of forward motion. Listening not only for the lively movement but also for the phrasing and changes of register brings greater clarity to the overall design. In performance, ornaments should be handled naturally within the musical flow, while the balance between the hands, clear articulation, and a steady pulse are carefully maintained. Subtle changes of expression on the repeats can make the unfolding of the music sound more vivid.
