Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.260 L.124

This is a lively and refined sonata that makes the most of the brightness of G major. Within its concise two-part structure, short motives seem to pass from one voice to another, while the dialogue between the right and left hands gives the music its momentum. The direction and cadences of each phrase should be made clear, and repeated sections should not be played mechanically identically; instead, vary the tone color and dynamics. Ornaments should be handled with natural lightness so that they do not interrupt the flow. By avoiding haste in the smaller figures and maintaining a steady pulse and transparent sonority, the work’s vitality and elegance come to the fore. Use the pedal sparingly to prevent blurred resonance, and pay attention to finger independence and evenness of fingering.
