🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.443 L.418

A lively sense of motion and clear phrasing propel the music forward, while intricate movement and contrasting sections create a natural sense of shape. Comparing the development of the first and second halves reveals how the same material is passed between the voices and redirected. In performance, begin with clear articulation that avoids making each note too heavy, and treat the ornaments lightly within the musical flow. A well-balanced relationship between the hands, together with attention to phrase direction and subtle dynamic changes, brings out the sonata’s energy and refinement.
