🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in e-moll K.198 L.22

Built around concise motifs, this tightly shaped sonata develops through delicate motion and conversational exchanges between the voices. Keeping its two-part structure in mind makes it easier to follow the changes in recurring material and the shifts of key. Highlights include the responses between short phrases within the lively momentum, the sense of space created by rests, and the tension leading toward the cadences. In performance, avoid connecting the notes too heavily, and present each motif with clear articulation. Ornaments should be played at a natural speed without interrupting the flow; balancing the two hands and introducing expressive variety in the repeats will bring out both its vitality and delicacy.
