🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.111 L.130

This concise, tightly focused sonata moves forward by building upon short phrases. In a single-movement binary form, the material presented in the first half is developed in the second, changing in character through shifts of key and new combinations. The exchanges between the hands, along with the tension and release created by the finely articulated movement of the notes, are among its main attractions. In performance, it is important to keep each contrapuntal line clear and maintain the flow of the beat while keeping the figures light and even. Repeats should not sound mechanical: consider the direction of each phrase and its dynamics, and treat ornamental notes clearly in relation to the principal melody to create a transparent sense of momentum.
