🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.152 L.179

Built from short motives, the sonata unfolds with lively figuration and ornamental passages that sustain its forward motion. Listening for the contrast between the first and second halves makes the changes of key and the exchange of phrases easier to perceive. In performance, avoid making the sound too heavy, and maintain clear, even articulation while listening carefully to the separate voices in both hands. Ornaments should not sound mechanically inserted; when shaped naturally in support of the pulse and musical breathing, they bring a sense of vitality to the work’s refined sonority.
