🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.276 L.S20

This sonata brings to life the qualities associated with Scarlatti’s keyboard writing: lively rhythmic momentum and the poised flow of its melodic lines. Short motives are passed between the voices, creating a continuous sense of motion, while the two halves unfold with contrasting character. The delicate ornaments and repeated phrases call for clear articulation and evenly shaped notes. Careful balance between the hands, restrained use of the pedal, and close attention to phrase direction and the space between rests will help bring out both the music’s vitality and its elegance.
