🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.196 L.38

This tightly focused sonata unfolds through continuous figuration and clear rhythmic energy, with short motifs seeming to pass between the voices. Its concise design, built from two repeated sections, calls for a clear contrast between the character of the opening and later sections while maintaining the musical flow. In performance, ornaments and quick passagework should not be rushed; instead, aim for even, articulate sound and a light, buoyant touch. Balancing the volume between the hands and shaping the peaks of the phrases clearly will bring the dialogue between the motifs and the forward momentum to life. In the repeats, small changes in touch and dynamics can also be effective.
