🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in E-Dur K.136 L.377

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.136 is a single-movement work marked by lively motion and clear forward momentum. Based on a binary form with repeated sections, it unfolds through a succession of short motifs and finely detailed movement, allowing the character of each passage to shift naturally. Highlights include the changes of register and sonority that emerge without interrupting the flow, as well as the contrasts between the sections. In performance, it is important to remain aware of the dialogue between the hands and to treat the ornaments as part of the melodic line rather than executing them mechanically. Clearly shaping the direction of each phrase and the space around the rests, while combining a light touch with a steady sense of pulse, brings the music’s contours into sharper relief.
