🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.379 L.73

This sonata condenses the appeal of Scarlatti’s keyboard writing into clear contours and a light, buoyant sense of motion. Within its two-part design, the opening and closing sections create contrast and dialogue, while brief motives are varied and ornaments and finely articulated passages add color. It is important to listen for the exchange between the voices, let the right-hand melody sing, and keep the flow of the beat steady in the left hand. Slightly varying the expression on repeats, while maintaining crisp articulation and natural phrasing, brings out the work’s wit and elegance.
