Handel - Flute Sonata in D major (II. Allegro)
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | First published only in 1979, the manuscript carries an attribution to one Weisse, probably Johann Sigismund Weiss. Although academics believe it to be Handel's work because several of this sonata's themes appear in other Handel pieces. Like other Handel's flute sonatas, this follows the slow-fast-slow-fast church sonata format. This is the second movement, Allegro. It reminds Handel's Recorder Sonata in F, his overture to Il Trionfo del tempo, and the Trio Sonata, HWV 391 because of the quickly bouncing tune that pops up in those other works. |

| The artist: | German, later British Baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, becoming well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Born in a family indifferent to music, Handel received critical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712; he became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. |
