🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in f-moll K.69 L.382

Scarlatti’s Sonata in F minor, K.69 L.382, incorporates a singing melody and subtle harmonic changes within a concise two-part structure. Material introduced in the first half is developed in the second, allowing shifts between tension and release to emerge through the repetitions. Highlights include the exchange between voices, the movement of the inner parts, and the expressive shading at phrase endings. In performance, the melody should be brought out carefully while preserving the clarity characteristic of a keyboard instrument. Avoid rushing the ornaments, and remain attentive to rests and resonance. It is also important not to equalize the volume of both hands, but to clarify the roles of the melody and accompaniment.
