🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in G-Dur K.75 L.53

Scarlatti’s Sonata in G major, K.75, L.53, condenses the presentation and transformation of its musical material, along with shifts of key, into a concise musical design. As a single-movement work in two sections, its overall flow becomes clearer when the repetitions of the first and second halves are observed and the contrasts between sections are brought out. Ornaments and small melodic movements should remain crisp and light, while retaining a natural sense of breath rather than sounding mechanical. Listening carefully to the two hands and giving a slight sense of direction at the ends of phrases can create both transparent sonority and forward momentum.
