🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.435 L.361

This single-movement sonata is distinguished by its lively momentum and clearly defined contours. Short motifs unfold through repetition and exchange, while streams of delicate notes and buoyant rhythms propel the music forward. In the two sections of the binary form, changes of key and register create shifts in character, and the opening material returns in a different harmonic setting. A central point of interest is preserving the melodic line within the crisp passagework. Balancing the hands carefully and treating ornaments and repeated notes lightly, without rushing, brings out a transparent sense of drive. Attention to phrase direction and breathing also adds natural lyricism to the music’s agility.
