🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.180 L.272

Scarlatti’s Sonata K.180 is marked by the exchange of figures built from short motives and by the forward momentum of its lively rhythms. Within its concise two-part structure, similar phrases appear in changing keys, while repetition gives shape to the musical flow. The detailed movement of the right hand should remain clear and even, while the left hand should maintain a light sense of pulse without disappearing into the accompaniment. Treating the ends of phrases carefully, avoiding exaggerated dynamics, and allowing flexibility in the ornaments and rapid figures can bring out a transparent sense of dialogue and natural forward motion. Rather than rushing the tempo, aim for an even touch with relaxed wrists.
