🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in f-moll K.519 L.475

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this piece is especially memorable for its concentrated drive and shifting shades of expression. It follows a single-movement binary design, with each half repeated, while short-value runs, leaps, and harmonic changes propel the music forward. Rather than presenting the detailed motion mechanically, performers should identify the direction of each phrase and its points of greatest tension. Clear exchanges between the hands, a light touch in the ornaments and rapid passages, and careful attention to rests and the resonance of sustained notes help bring out its taut, expressive character.
