🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in e-moll K.394 L.275

This concise single-movement sonata condenses Scarlatti’s characteristic wit and keyboard writing into a compact form. Clear exchanges between phrases, delicate ornamentation, and forward-moving repetitions give the music its momentum. Viewing the contrast between the first and second halves as a structural guide makes the role of each section easier to understand. In performance, ornaments should remain integrated into the musical flow; balance between the hands, clean articulation, a clear sense of meter, and distinct voicing are essential. Rather than rushing the tempo, shaping the direction of each phrase brings out a poised and lively character.
