🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in h-moll K.293 L.S44

This sonata is striking for its finely shaped development of short motives and its clear writing, in which the melody in the right hand is interwoven with the accompaniment in the left. Within its two-part design, the contrast between the first and second halves, together with repeated figures and modulations, brings variety to the musical flow. Ornaments should be treated naturally as part of the melody, while a crisp touch and clear balance between the voices bring out the music’s forward momentum. Rather than rushing the tempo, performers should attend to phrase divisions and harmonic changes, shaping a balance between lightness and tension.
