Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Sonata in G minor George Frideric Handel
Larghetto; Allegro; Adagio; Allegro
This sonata comes from a collection of twelve which make up Handel's opus 1. The twelve sonatas are for a variety of instruments with continuo accompaniment. Handel wrote these for the professional musicians of his London opera orchestra. Prominent bass parts give the sonatas a contrapuntal strength and vitality, and Handel keeps the virtuosic demands in balance with the melodic ideas. For this reason, they are among the most attractive Baroque solo sonatas and deserve their lasting popularity. Callipygian Players
