🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in Es-Dur K.306 L.16

This sonata is written in a concise, single-movement two-part form. Its finely moving figures and crisp rhythms drive the music forward, while exchanges between the hands and changes of register create a measured contrast. In the repeats of each section, it is important not to reproduce the same material mechanically, but to vary the expression through attention to ornaments and the direction of the phrases. The work’s character comes through when clear articulation is maintained while the music retains a singing quality beneath its lightness. Avoiding an overly hurried tempo, keeping the smaller movements even, and treating rests and cadential pauses with care will help balance flow and refinement.
