🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.18 L.416

This single-movement sonata develops through contrasts between short musical ideas. Based on a binary form, it invites the listener to appreciate changes of key and register between the two sections. Within its lively motion, phrases are passed between the hands and voices respond to one another; shaping the direction of each line helps clarify the overall structure. The smaller notes should not be played heavily, but with crisp, well-defined articulation. Ornaments should be integrated at a natural speed without interrupting the flow, while careful attention to balance between the hands and changes of expression on the repeats will bring the music to life.
