🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.169 L.331

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.169 is built from concise musical ideas, enriched by ornaments and finely detailed movement. Within its single movement, short phrases respond to one another as the music unfolds, while the repeated sections offer opportunities for changes in expression. It is important to let the melody sing without allowing the inner voices or bass line to disappear. Ornaments should not interrupt the flow, but should be played with a light touch and even articulation. Giving the phrase endings room to breathe and carefully shaping the dialogue between the hands and the changing harmony can bring out the music’s sense of clarity.
