🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in e-moll K.203 L.380

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this is a piece in which subtle changes of expression emerge within a calm, flowing atmosphere. Centered on a two-part form in a single movement, it develops its motifs and figures through changes of key, creating a natural contrast between the first and second sections. The interplay of melodic lines and the shifting harmonies are among its most engaging features. In performance, keep each voice clear while allowing ornaments and smaller movements to unfold without haste, shaping them with breathing, songful phrasing. On repeats, vary the character slightly, preserving the overall flow while bringing out its delicate shades of expression.
