🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.176 L.163

Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor, K.176, L.163, condenses clear phrasing and varied keyboard movement into a concise single movement. Built on a binary form, it carries thematic material through changes of register and harmony, creating a sense of tension as the music progresses from the first half to the second. The melodic voices should be brought out with care, while the accompanying movement should remain light and clearly organized. Ornaments should be shaped with a natural, speech-like quality that does not disturb the rhythmic flow, and restrained pedaling helps bring out the transparent sonority and finely nuanced expression.
