🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in h-moll K.197 L.147

Scarlatti’s Sonata in B minor, K.197, L.147, is a keyboard work that condenses dialogue between the voices and delicate ornamentation into a concise design. It is a single-movement sonata in binary form, with both the first and second sections repeated, while short motifs pass between the right and left hands to propel the music forward. It is important to keep each voice clear and to integrate the ornaments naturally into the musical flow. On repeats, varying the expression and dynamics while maintaining rhythmic momentum and tension brings out the work’s appeal.
