🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in H-Dur K.262 L.446

This concise, single-movement sonata is built around a two-part design with contrasting sections. Flowing melodic lines and light, agile motion are passed between the hands like a conversation, while ornaments and finely articulated figures shape the music’s expression. One of the main attractions is the changing harmonic direction and sense of tension as the music moves from the first part to the second. In performance, the hands should not be balanced too evenly; the melody needs to emerge clearly. Ornaments should be played with natural lightness without disturbing the flow of the beat. Rather than rushing through the details, shaping the direction and breathing of each phrase brings lively momentum to the work’s poise.
