🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.153 L.445

This keyboard sonata by Scarlatti is characterized by the bright, open sonority of G major. While making effective use of concise musical ideas, it moves forward with energy, and its first and second halves can be heard as creating contrast and correspondence. Even within its lively motion, harmonic changes and phrase divisions add expressive nuance. In performance, it is important to make the exchange between voices clear and maintain a neat, even articulation. Ornaments and delicate passages should not be rushed; preserving the flow of the beat while adding natural nuance brings out the work’s vivacity and refinement. Alongside its bright sonority, listen for the changes of color created by cadences and modulations.
