Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.52 L.267

Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor, K.52 L.267 is a work whose concise design reveals the shading of D minor and an elegant keyboard style. Listening for the contrast between the first and second halves makes the flow of the music and its changes in tension more apparent. The delicate passagework should remain light and agile, while ornaments and rests should not be rushed; instead, their direction within the melodic line should be clearly felt. Clarity in the exchange between the hands and a clean texture help balance refinement with forward momentum.
