Recorder Sonatas

The popularity of Handel?s recorder sonatas can easily be gauged by the sheer number of old and modern publications of them. This edition unites the six authentic sonatas and also includes the early version of movement no. 6 to the D minor sonata. It is based on the eminently reliable text of the Halle Handel Edition the ?last word? in Handel scholarship.The G minor A minor C major and F major sonatas were originally edited by Hans Peter Schmitz in 1955 for the Halle Handel Edition. These sonatas were then re-edited in 1995 by Terence Best.The publication contains a thorough discussion of the history and genesisof the works and handy tips dealing with performance practice by the renowned Handel scholar Terence Best. In addition to the score the edition has a solo recorder part and a bass part with figures.A must publication for performers of Handel?s beloved music for recorder.This publication replaces the older Hortus Musicus nos. 251 269.Authoritative edition based on the reliable Urtext of the Halle Handel EditionPerformance practice tips (English/German)Score with solo recorder part and bass part with figures?Let?s hope that this is the final ?scholarly edition? of the Handel recorder sonatas. I do not see a need for any more !?(Martha Bixler ? American Recorder November 1993)

Performance score with basso continuo (without figured bass realisation). At the beginning of the 18th century, the recorder enjoyed great popularity as a solo instrument for amateurs. Among these were also the princesses of the English court, for whose musical entertainment and training Handel?s six recorder sonatas were probably written in 1725/26. Only four of them appeared shortly thereafter in print and thus also reached a broader audience: the other two were first discovered for the recorder in the 20th century. Thanks to their melodic and rhythmic incisiveness, the pieces, whose recorder parts are relatively easily mastered, number among the most beautiful written for this instrument. Owing to wide-ranging bass lines and copious figures, the continuo instrument requires a rather well-versed player./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec Alto et Basse Continue

Until recently Sammartini's known compositions for recorder consisted of the Concerto in F for Descant Recorder and some editions of his Trio Sonatas are scored for two Treble Recorders and Bass. However the discovery of two sets of solo sonatas attributed to Sammartini has brought to light a wealth of music for the Recorder a selection of which is given in this excellent edition.

These sonatas are among the best loved and most frequently performed of all works for the instrument and have been presented in a way that fully reflects G.F.Handel's intentions. This book has been edited by David Lasocki and Walter Bergmann and is specially arranged for the Treble (Alto) recorder and basso continuo which have both been fully realised. Chosen for the ABRSM Treble Recorder examination grades 4 and 6.
