Each book also comes with a CD that contains full performances of the sonatas by Edmund-Davies and Alley, as well as full backing tracks with piano and cello.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese eleven sonatas, most likely written between 1712 and 1728, have been a part of the main repertoire for the instrument for well over two hundred years. However, they originally started out as sonatas for other instruments and in different keys. Due to the popularity of the 'German flute' among musical amateurs in England during the late 1720s and early 1730s, it is most like that Handel's publisher arranged for these sonatas to be transposed into keys that would suit performance on this instrument. It is not known whether or not Handel himself approved of this practice; however, the popularity of the sonatas among flutists since renders the question fairly moot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonata in F Major HWV 369\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonata in a minor HWV 374\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonata in e minor HWV 375\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonata in b minor HWV 376\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kevin Mayhew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968138563878,"sku":"9790570243501","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790570243501_d.jpg?v=1697503361","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/handel-gf-sonatas-for-flute-book-3","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
