🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in g-moll K.97

Scarlatti’s Sonata in G minor, K.97 is a taut keyboard work that drives the music forward through concise motifs. Its first and second halves form distinct sections, while repetition and changes of tonality shape the work as a whole. The rapid movement of the notes calls for clear articulation, and ornaments and successive figures should be kept light and well organized. Bringing out the exchanges between the hands, while maintaining the pulse without rushing, allows careful control of dynamics and phrase direction to reveal the music’s vitality and poise.
