🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.354 L.68

Within the concise structure characteristic of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, finely articulated motion and clear rhythm create a strong sense of flow. Focusing on the contrast between the first and second halves makes the changes of key and development of the motifs easier to hear, while the momentum created by the accumulation of short phrases leaves a vivid impression. In performance, avoid connecting the notes too heavily; use a light non-legato as the basis, and keep ornaments and rapid passages clean and distinct. Clear exchanges between the hands, together with subtle expressive variation on repetitions, help bring out the natural flow of the whole sonata.
