Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.375 L.389

Scarlatti’s Sonata in G major, K.375 L.389, is distinguished by its bright and lively character. Built on a single-movement binary design, it moves forward through the exchange of short motifs and the delicate activity of the right hand. A key attraction lies in maintaining a clear sense of structure while bringing contrast between the first and second parts and adding expressive variety on their repeats. In fast passages, avoid stiffening the fingers and use a light touch with even articulation. Carefully shaping ornaments and rests, while keeping the left-hand accompaniment restrained, brings out the transparent sonority and dance-like vitality.
