product description

Original version and transposéd to F major for alto recorder and basso continuo, edited by Klaus Hofmann. Handel's ‘Fitzwilliam Sonata’ in G major, sketched in Italy around 1707, has puzzled musicologists as to its possible scoring. At the end of the third movement, Handel wrote four notes in the French treble clef and notated them extremely high, whereby they do not fit melodically with the basso continuo. Klaus Hofmann has solved the riddle, which was probably a joke on Handel's part. The upper part now has a melodically plausible progression and the sonata corresponds to the range of the treble recorder. With this edition, the sonata is now available for the first time in Handel's actually intended version. It can be performed just as well on an alto recorder in G as on an alto recorder in F. The original version and transposition variant in F major leave all possibilities open to the player. Girolamo Musikverlag
