Description
K.332 is a compact sonata in B-flat major, modest in both length and note count but tightly constructed with a buoyant sense of momentum. Rather than showcasing overt virtuosity, it relies on refined harmonic motion and clear rhythmic drive. Among Scarlatti's vast output, it sits among the more approachable works.
Sonatas across a range of instrumentations, including piano parts from violin sonatas, spanning Classical to Romantic styles.
