6 Sonatas for Violin and Continuo, Op. 1

Album by George Frideric Handel & Arthur Grumiaux & Robert Veyron‐Lacroix

6 Sonatas for Violin and Continuo, Op. 1 is a set of six chamber sonatas by George Frideric Handel, first published in 1732. Musically they are Baroque violin sonatas for violin and basso continuo that draw on Italianate melodic style and contrasts of slow and fast movements, placing them among Handel's early instrumental works and reflecting his engagement with sonata forms and chamber repertoire.
