🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.522 L.S25

This sonata condenses finely active writing and a lively rhythmic character into a concise binary form. Short phrases seem to pass from one hand to the other, while the contrast between the first and second sections gives the music a clear sense of direction. Highlights include the momentum created by ornaments and rapid passagework, as well as the changes of expression that emerge within the economical texture. In performance, balance the dynamics of the two hands and keep each voice clear, using a light touch rather than allowing the sound to become heavy. To prevent the small figures from sounding mechanical, preserve the phrasing and sense of direction; subtle expressive variation on the repeats can bring natural vitality to the performance.
