🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in F-Dur K.541 L.120

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.541 advances with momentum as short motifs are passed on with crisp articulation, creating a concise, forward-moving piece. The dialogue between the right and left hands, and the clear exchanges created by shifts of register, are among its highlights; even repeated figures reveal light, subtle variation. It is important to make the transitions between contrasting sections clear while shaping the sonata as a single continuous flow. In performance, ornaments should be treated naturally, without heaviness, and the small passages kept even while maintaining rhythmic drive. Balancing the dynamics of the two hands and carefully bringing out the hand-to-hand transfer of the melody will enhance the transparent sonority and vitality.
