🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in fis-moll K.142

Among Scarlatti’s sonatas, this is a piece that invites close attention to the shaping of its melodic lines and the changing harmonies. It is essentially a single-movement work in binary form, with the musical flow shaped by the exchange of thematic material and shifts of tonality across the development of each half. The activity created by the smaller note values and ornaments should be handled lightly without rushing, while maintaining a steady pulse. Careful balance between the voices allows the melody to emerge naturally and reveals the delicate expression within the concise writing. In the repeated sections, avoid mechanical repetition and introduce subtle changes in phrase direction and resonance.
