Small Ensemble Bassoon,Cello,Flute,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811776 Composed by Georg Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759). Arranged by Edited & arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 34 pages. Piper Publications #6207541. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811776). This Trio Sonata was composed around 1719 for 2 violins or flutes or oboes and cello or harpsichord. The four movements, Andante, Allegro, Largo and Allegro are typical of the other opus 2 sonatas and provide interesting parts for all three players. Players of intermediate standard and above will enjoy the musical challenge. All editing is clearly indicated using dashed lines and parentheses ( ). Some changes of register have been made- mostly moving the flute part up an octave to balance the oboe part and avoid middle C which would not have been available on most flutes of the period. Handel's dynamic markings are very sparse and I have refrained from adding more than a few very obvious ones as there are so many possibilities and it is so much more satisfying for players to decide for themselves.
