Summary of This Score
This edition brings together an essential collection of sonatas attributed to Georg Friedrich Handel, designed for chamber music practice centered around the solo duo and basso continuo. You will find works for transverse flute (for example, the sonatas in E minor HWV 379 and HWV 359b, in G major HWV 363b, in B minor HWV 367b) as well as sonatas for recorder (in G minor HWV 360, in A minor HWV 362, in C major HWV 365, in F major HWV 369). This variety of keys and affects makes it a comprehensive resource for building a concert program or structuring regular work on the Baroque repertoire.
The edition offers a clear reading framework thanks to a preface and editorial notes (in German and English): a real asset for understanding editorial choices, sources, and the Urtext approach. The inclusion of a score and a set of parts facilitates rehearsal preparation and balance with the continuo (harpsichord, organ, cello, viola da gamba, bassoon, depending on your ensemble).
An appendix completes the volume with three sonatas of doubtful authenticity for flute and basso continuo (HWV 374, HWV 375, HWV 376). This addition allows expanding the repertoire, exploring frequently performed pieces, and comparing the writing with the more securely attributed sonatas.
