🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.476 L.340

Grounded in the traditional two-part structure of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, this work gains momentum from the exchange of short phrases and shifts in register. The material unfolds through repetitions of the first and second sections, while finely articulated motion and harmonic changes create a range of expression. In performance, aim to clarify the contours of each voice while maintaining a light, agile touch that avoids excessive heaviness. Ornaments and passing notes should support the flow without disrupting it, with attention to the sense of the beat and the direction of each phrase. Rather than exaggerating dynamic contrasts, shape them naturally in response to the density of the sonority and changes of register, bringing out the tension and brilliance within the concise writing.
