🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.60 L.13

This sonata condenses Scarlatti’s characteristic drive and sense of contrast into a compact single-movement binary form. Fine-scale musical motion is passed from one gesture to the next, while recurring motifs and harmonic changes propel the flow. Bringing out the boundary between the first and second sections and shaping the ends of each phrase carefully will clarify the overall structure. Rather than pursuing speed alone, aim for a balanced sound between the hands and light, consistent articulation, approaching the decorative passages with comfortable fingerings. Feel the breathing of the short phrases and their changes in tension, and bring out the dramatic expression within the work’s concise musical material.
