🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.17 L.384

Domenico Scarlatti’s Sonata K.17 unfolds within a brief single movement, shaped by clear phrases and lively rhythms. The first and second halves unfold in contrast, while recurring patterns are passed between different registers, creating a light musical dialogue across the keyboard. A key point to listen for is the way the flowing notes are maintained while phrase divisions and harmonic changes are brought out vividly. In performance, keep the fingertips light, maintain evenness in the notes, and listen carefully to the balance between the hands. Ornaments should not interrupt the flow, and subtle changes in character and dynamics on repeated sections can make the music’s forward momentum more apparent.
