G.F. Händel - Sonata in G minor, HWV. 360

with Grace Burns, piano ~~~ The Sonata in G Minor (HWV 360) was composed for recorder and basso continuo. The autograph manuscript, a fair copy made most likely in 1712, specifies the instrumentation as "flauto e cembalo" (flute and harpsichord). The work is also referred to as Opus 1 No. 2 and was first published in 1732 by Walsh, though Handel did not give his consent for this publication. This is the first of Handel’s recorder sonatas, following the typical Baroque structure of four movements alternating slow and fast tempi. The sonatas can be accompanied in various ways, with the most familiar combination being a cello or viola da gamba playing the bass line, complemented by the harpsichord filling in the harmonies indicated in the figured bass. - MBM
