🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.434 L.343

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.434 unfolds in a single movement, with contrasting sections that call for a clear sense of the relationship between the opening and closing halves. Its finely detailed motion brings a lively quality, while the ends of phrases and harmonic changes invite careful listening. Keep the exchanges between voices clear, and shape ornaments and rapid passages without rushing, maintaining a steady rhythmic flow. Balance the volume between the hands and even out the sound of the notes, while using flexible articulation to avoid a mechanical effect. This helps bring out the work’s wit and tension.
