Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in e-moll K.292 L.24

This compact single-movement sonata unfolds by developing short motifs. Passages of continuous movement in smaller note values alternate with sections that bring the melody into focus, while tension and release take shape within a repeated binary form. A key point to hear is the uninterrupted flow of the music and the way the whole piece becomes increasingly taut as it approaches the cadence. In performance, ornaments should not be played mechanically; they should be shaped lightly while maintaining a firm sense of the beat. Careful balance between the voices allows the melody to emerge clearly, creating both transparency and momentum.
