🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.510 L.277

This is a concentrated keyboard sonata that moves forward by building upon short motives. Within its concise design, in which the first and second halves respond to one another, changes of register and harmony shift the character, while delicate ornaments and repetitions add momentum to the flow. A particular point of interest is the dialogue created not only by the right-hand melody, but also by the movement of the left hand and the exchange between inner voices. In performance, it is important to clarify the direction of each voice, avoid an overly heavy touch, and fit the ornaments naturally into the pulse. On repeats, adding changes in dynamics and expression rather than repeating the same material mechanically can bring the work’s contours into sharper focus.
