Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.13 L.486

Scarlatti’s Sonata in G major K.13 L.486 is characterized by the bright sonority of G major and light, crisp musical movement. Short motifs unfold as if passed from one voice to another, while the first and second halves respond to each other in a two-part structure, inviting the listener to appreciate the shifts of key and the character of the cadences. Keep the right-hand melody clear while shaping the left-hand accompaniment and broken-motion figures lightly, giving each pattern a clear sense of direction. Rather than playing ornaments mechanically, incorporate them naturally into the flow of the beat; maintaining brightness and forward momentum brings out the vitality of this concise style.
