🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.431 L.83

This sonata offers the propulsive energy and vivid keyboard movement that are among the hallmarks of Scarlatti’s writing, arising from concise musical material. Built on a single-movement binary form, it shapes its forward motion through short motives and repetitions, while the contrast between the two sections provides an important point of interest. The notes should remain clear without losing the lightness of the music, and ornaments should be treated naturally as part of the melodic expression. Organizing the exchanges between the hands and changes of register, while using the pedal sparingly, helps bring out the music’s vitality through subtle accents and a steady sense of pulse.
