*The first of a set of 6 sonatas published in Paris by Boivin A Deux flutes transversiere sans Basse
Par Mr. Handel. No manuscript has been found and there is no date of publication. Boivin was also
Michel Blavet’s publisher and the flute duets and sonatas credited to Blavet have publication dates and
opus numbers and his full name and the dedication details. The musical style of the 6 sonatas is
characteristic of Blavet rather than Handel and none of the thematic material from these sonatas seems
to have been re-used by Handel - whose borrowings from his own works are numerous and well documented.
They are also suitable for pairs of oboes or clarinets or violins. They have been very lightly edited,
obvious wrong notes have been corrected, a few dynamic and decorative suggestions added in
parentheses ( ) missing slurs added in broken lines (- -). Players of Intermediate standard will enjoy this music written for 2 equal instruments. 4 movements - Larghetto, Allegro, Andante & Allegro.
