🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.191 L.207

Within a concise, single-movement binary form, this sonata presents Scarlatti’s characteristic drive and concentrated expression. Short phrases are passed from one to another, while fine movement and clear rhythms carry the music forward. Keeping in mind how the material introduced in the first half unfolds in the second makes the overall structure easier to grasp. In performance, it is important to coordinate the exchanges between the hands, keep the ornaments and intricate passages crisp, and preserve the direction of each phrase. Rather than relying on speed alone, a light touch and well-judged pauses can bring the dialogue between the voices vividly to life.
