🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.289 L.78

This sonata offers the concise structure and vivid sense of motion that characterize Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas. Built around a two-part form, it takes shape through the repetition of short figures and exchanges between the hands, while clear contrasts emerge at changes of scene. The ornaments should be handled lightly within the flow of the beat so as not to interrupt the momentum of the melody. Rather than making the hands sound too uniform, listen for each individual line and aim for crisp articulation and natural phrasing to bring out the music’s driving energy. In the repeats, small changes in expression and dynamics can help give the whole piece a lively sense of coherence.
