🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in d-moll K.89 L.211

This keyboard sonata is built in a multi-movement design, with a slow movement followed by two fast movements. At the beginning, the melodic lines with their ornaments and the changing harmonies invite careful listening, while the later movements are driven forward by clear rhythms and delicate motion. The contrasting character of each movement and the shifts between repose and momentum are central to the work’s appeal. In performance, do not rush the phrasing or the resolution of dissonances in the slower section; in the faster movements, maintain crisp articulation and a light, agile character. Ornaments should not sound mechanical, but should be connected to the direction of the melody and the sense of meter, allowing the overall structure to emerge clearly.
