🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in f-moll K.481 L.187

This sonata is marked by an unhurried pace and a singing melodic line. Within its concise two-part design, thematic material unfolds in different keys, while ornaments and shifting harmonies lend the music a delicate expressiveness. Performers should listen carefully to the exchange between the voices, maintain a smooth melodic line, and play the ornaments without rushing, allowing for natural musical breathing. Attention to the balance between the hands is also important, and the repeats can benefit from subtle changes in expression. Bringing out the tension toward the cadences and the quiet resonance that follows highlights the work’s intimate appeal.
