🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.290 L.85

Among Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this work unfolds within a concise single-movement structure, combining the presentation and development of its thematic material with exchanges between contrasting ideas. In a binary form with repeats, the first half establishes the musical outline, while the second broadens the material through changes of tonality. The delicate ornaments and running passages require not only lightness but also clarity that preserves the flow of the beat. Balancing the volume between the hands, using a touch that keeps the melody from being obscured, and shaping the melodic breath will bring out the work’s poised sense of structure and lively momentum.
