Handel, Georg Friedrich - Trio Sonata in F major

Handel, George Frideric
Trio sonata F major
for 2 violins and basso continuo
(with suspended continuo part)
HWV 392

For the composition of the first movement, as in the F major sonata HWV 392, Handel took up the sixth aria 'Meine Seele hört im Sehen' from the collection "9 German Arias". Based on texts by the Hamburg pastor Barthold Hinrich Brockes, Handel composed this volume of arias between 1724 and 1727 in London. Handel used motives of the first movement and movements 2 and 3 of the sonata for the overture to the oratorio Esther. The music of the 4th movement can be found, among others, in the organ concerto in B flat major. Quantz's very accurate handwriting is flawless. Added dynamics are in brackets. Completed slurs are shown in dashed lines. In movement 2, Allegro, the last two 16th notes b and c are written in the basso in measure 47; b and c-sharp would also be possible In movement 3 Larg(h)etto, Quantz writes staccato strokes in the basso only in measures 2 and 3, although these should also apply to the other corresponding passages.
