Recorder Sonata In D Minor (HWV 367a)
The Sonata in D minor ( HWV 367a) was composed, circa 1709–15, by George Frideric Handel for recorder and basso continuo. The work is also referred to as ''Opus 1 No. 9a''. Another catalogue of Handel's music refers to the work as HHA iv/18,19,45 (there is no HG designation for the work). The autograph manuscript of the sonata is written on Italian paper, which was acquired by Handel during his travels in Italy between the end of 1706 and the end of 1709. Although he continued to use this paper until 1715, it is most likely that the autograph was written in about 1712. Handel's handwriting in this manuscript (and the one for the B major recorder sonata) is much less careful than in the fair copies he made at about the same time as the four sonatas in G minor, A minor, C major, and F major. The sonata was published by Walsh circa 1730, in an "incredibly botched" edition purporting to be from the Amsterdam publisher Jean Roger, arranged by an unknown hand as a flute sonata in B ...

George Frideric Handel
George Frideric (or Frederick) Handel (; baptised , ; 23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-British Baroque music, Baroque composer well known for his opera#Baroque era, operas, oratorios, anthems, concerto grosso, concerti grossi, and organ concertos. Handel received his training in Halle (Saale), Halle and worked as a composer in Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712, where he spent the bulk of his career and Handel's Naturalisation Act 1727, became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the middle-German polyphony, polyphonic choral tradition and by composers of the Italian Baroque. In turn, Handel's music forms one of the peaks of the "high baroque" style, bringing Italian opera to its highest development, creating the genres of English oratorio and organ concerto, and introducing a new style into English church music. He is consistently recognized as one of the greatest composers of his age. Handel started three c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flute Sonata In B Minor (HWV 367b)
The ''Flute sonata in B minor'' ( HWV 367b) is a work for flute and basso continuo, however the sonata was originally composed (c. 1712) by George Frideric Handel as a ''Recorder sonata in D minor (HWV 367a)''. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii, 32; and HHA iv/3,42. The work was first published as "Opus 1, No. 9" in 1730 in an unauthorised and "disgracefully botched" edition—in fact by John Walsh of London but with a forged title page claiming Jeanne Roger of Amsterdam Amsterdam ( , , , lit.

Fitzwilliam Sonatas
Fitzwilliam Sonatas is the name first given by Thurston Dart to an arrangement he made, based on two recorder sonatas by George Frideric Handel, which he recast as a group of three sonatas. The term was applied by later editors to the original two sonatas as Handel wrote them, and was also expanded to encompass several other sonatas for various instruments included in the Handel autograph manuscripts held by the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. History The two sonatas used by Dart for his edition were probably written between 1724 and 1726, but were not likely intended to be associated, either as a pair or together with the other four recorder sonatas by Handel. They were first associated in 1948, when Thurston Dart named them after the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, where the autograph sources are kept.George Buelow, ''A History of Baroque Music'', sixth edition (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004): 622Notes to pages 489–498 (accessdate = 21 Febru ...

Handel Solo Sonatas (Walsh)
''Solos for a German Flute a Hoboy or Violin with a Thorough Bass for the Harpsichord or Bass Violin Compos'd by Mr. Handel'' was published by John Walsh in 1732. It contains a set of twelve sonatas, for various instruments, composed by George Frideric Handel. The 63 page publication includes the sonatas that are generally known as Handel's ''Opus 1'' (three extra "Opus 1" sonatas were added in a later edition by Chrysander). The 1732 edition (which displays at the bottom of the title page the legend "Note: This is more Corect than the former Edition") was mostly reprinted from the plates of an earlier 1730 publication, titled ''Sonates pour un Traversiere un Violon ou Hautbois Con Basso Continuo Composées par G. F. Handel''—purportedly printed in Amsterdam by Jeanne Roger, but now shown to have been a forgery by Walsh (dated well after Jeanne Roger's death in 1722). There was also a third edition of a later, uncertain date, which bears the plate no. 407.Best 1985, 481–8 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
