🇮🇹Domenico Scarlatti ： Sonata in h-moll K.408 L.346

Built around concise motifs, the sonata develops through the repetition and transformation of figures, while exchanges between voices and shifts of register create a sense of momentum. As a single-movement work in binary form, its overall shape becomes easier to follow by listening for the presentation of material in the first half and its reworking, accompanied by changes of key, in the second. In performance, avoid letting the small notes rush by; maintain a steady pulse and make the direction of each phrase clear. Carefully coordinate the dialogue between the hands, avoid excessive force in decorative passages, and let the music proceed with a light touch and balanced dynamics to bring out its transparent texture and tension.
