🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.194 L.28

This sonata offers a concise, forward-driving style characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas. It is a single-movement work in binary form: material introduced in the first section is developed in the second, leading through changes of tonality toward the close. Repeated and exchanged short motives, together with delicate ornaments, give the music its motion, while the contrast between the sections provides an important listening point. In performance, it is essential to distinguish the two hands clearly and maintain a lively rhythm while shaping the direction of each phrase. Ornaments should sound naturally without interrupting the flow, and restrained use of the pedal helps preserve the music’s transparent, articulate character.
