🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.552 L.421

In the concise two-part form characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, lively figures meet contrasting musical ideas. Following how the material presented in the first part moves through changing tonal areas before returning to the home key in the second part helps clarify the overall shape. The shorter notes should be kept even and clearly articulated between the hands, while ornaments should be played with natural breathing rather than mechanically. On repeats, varying the expression and carefully tracing the shifts between lightness and tension brings out the sonata’s appeal.
