🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.102 L.89

This sonata maintains a sense of tension through finely detailed motion and propulsive rhythms, with short motifs passed from one idea to the next. Within its two-part design, the contrast between the opening and latter sections, together with recurring figures and harmonic shifts, creates a continuous flow and draws changing expressions from concise material. In performance, clarity of each voice and a well-defined sense of the beat are more important than simply pursuing speed. Ornaments and rapid passages should be played with a light, clean touch, while allowing a modest resonance at the ends of phrases brings out the music’s vitality and shading. Use the pedal sparingly, avoiding blur and responding to changes in harmony.
