Flute Sonatas

Album by George Frideric Handel & Barthold Kuijken & Wieland Kuijken & Robert Kohnen

Flute Sonatas is a collection of sonatas for flute by George Frideric Händel, composed c. 1726. The works exemplify Baroque chamber music, with ornamented melodic lines set against a basso continuo, alternating expressive slow movements and lively dance-derived passages, and they mark Händel's contributions to the solo instrumental repertoire in his early-to-mid career.
