About "D. Scarlatti: Keyboard Sonata in G Minor, Kk. 450" by Alexis Weissenberg
In G minor, Scarlatti builds a house of cards. Weissenberg's touch is feather-light, but the harmonic floor shifts with each phrase. The sonata dances on a wire between wit and melancholy, its repeated motifs like footsteps in an empty hallway. It's charming, yes, but there's a shadow at the edge of the frame, waiting.
