🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in f-moll K.386 L.171

Ideas born from short motives are passed from one gesture to the next, while delicate ornaments and clear rhythms keep the music moving forward. The sonata can be understood as a repeated two-part form, with material introduced in the first half developed in the second; the changing tonal direction and shifts in tension are among its most engaging features. In performance, it is important to clarify the flow of the melody by balancing the two hands, and to connect the ornaments naturally to the movement of the beat rather than playing them as hurried notes. Avoiding excessive reliance on the pedal and using a light touch with precise articulation helps bring out the contrast between the individual ideas.
