The structure of separating the opening passage from the subsequent music in the first half by a general pause is commonly observed in other sonatas. Various characteristics of Scarlatti's sonata writing can be pointed out throughout, such as leaps exceeding an octave to the resolution note (e.g., mm. 5-6), left-hand position shifts crossing over the right hand and the resulting rapid changes in register (e.g., mm. 47ff., mm. 89ff.), and syntax disruptions that defy expectations of sequence (mm. 81ff.).
