🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in D-Dur K.484 L.419

This sonata highlights the clarity of structure and lively rhythmic energy that characterize Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas. Based on a single-movement binary form, with each half repeated, its progress is easy to follow, while changes of key and contrasts between registers provide variety. The delicate ornaments and exchanges of short motifs should remain light and fluid, without interrupting the musical flow. It is important to let the right-hand melody sing with a clear, well-defined touch while keeping the left-hand accompaniment organized and maintaining a good balance between the hands. In the repeats, vary the dynamics and articulation, and avoid relying too heavily on the pedal in order to preserve a clear sonority.
