🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in E-Dur K.495 L.426

Lightly flowing figures and clear rhythms give this sonata a lively sense of momentum. It is based on a binary form in which both the first and second sections are repeated, while changes of key and register broaden its expression. The rapid passages and ornaments gain clarity when played with even, well-articulated fingertips. It is also important to distinguish the voices between the hands and keep the melody from being obscured. Without rushing the tempo, bring out the direction of each phrase; a light touch and carefully graded dynamics will reveal the dance-like vitality and appeal of Scarlatti’s concise writing.
