Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.538 L.254

This sonata is marked by the bright sonority of G major and a lively sense of motion. As a single-movement sonata, it unfolds through the exchange of short motifs and delicate chains of notes, forming a two-part structure in which the opening and later sections respond to one another. It is important to distinguish the right-hand melody from the left-hand accompaniment clearly and to keep the notes evenly articulated. Ornaments should be incorporated naturally without interrupting the flow, while maintaining light articulation and a steady sense of pulse. Listening carefully to changes in sonority and dynamics from one section to the next brings out the expressive richness within its concise design.
