🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in E-Dur K.162 L.21

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.162 is marked by clear rhythmic momentum and lively motion across the keyboard. Built on a single-movement binary form, it invites the listener to hear the contrast between the two sections while following changes of key and the development of musical figures through the repeats. Ornaments and rapid passages should have even, well-defined notes without becoming mechanical. Clarifying the exchanges between the hands and maintaining a natural sense of direction toward each phrase’s high points will bring out both the work’s brilliance and its elegant structure. Rather than rushing the tempo, aim for a light touch and a transparent sonority.
