🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in Es-Dur K.252 L.159

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.252 condenses the sense of motion and dialogue characteristic of keyboard music into a concise single-movement form. Based essentially on a binary structure, it unfolds through the exchange of short musical ideas, making it important to perceive the direction of each phrase and the placement of cadences clearly. The right-hand melody should be brought forward while the left-hand accompaniment remains light, and the chains of shorter notes should be kept even without rushing. In repeated sections, changes in ornamentation and dynamics, together with clear articulation and natural breathing, can bring out the work’s lively flow.
