Few keyboard works capture the elegance and charm of Domenico Scarlatti’s style quite like Sonata in D Minor, K.9.
Published in 1739 as part of the Essercizi per gravicembalo—a collection of 30 sonatas personally overseen by the composer—the piece has become one of the most beloved works in the entire Scarlatti repertoire.
In this performance, pianist Andrew Tyson brings out the sonata’s lyrical character and subtle rhythmic vitality, revealing the expressive simplicity that has drawn generations of pianists to this music.
