🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in Fis-Dur K.319 L.35

This keyboard sonata by Scarlatti has a lively sense of motion and a clear, well-defined character. Within its concise two-part structure, in which the first and second sections respond to one another, short motifs and finely articulated passages unfold in succession, while ornaments add brilliance to the music. Its highlights include the momentum created by crisp rhythms and recurring figures, as well as the changes of expression from one passage to the next. In performance, begin by keeping the pulse steady and aim for clear articulation without giving each note excessive weight. Ornaments should be integrated naturally into the melodic line, while maintaining a balanced relationship between the hands and a clear sense of phrase direction.
