🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.240 L.S29

Within a concise binary form, this sonata condenses rhythmic momentum and delicate movement across the keyboard. The material presented in the first half develops in the second, creating a sense of tension and breadth through changes of key. Clear voicing of the exchanges between short phrases and the ornaments is essential to keeping the flow lively. In performance, balance between the hands should be carefully maintained, avoiding excessive heaviness while bringing out both the clarity of individual notes and the direction of the larger phrases. Repeated sections should not sound mechanical; subtle changes in dynamics and expression can help reveal the interest of the structure.
