Flute sonata in D major (HWV 378)
The Flute sonata in D major (HWV 378) was composed (?circa 1707) by George Frideric Handel, for flute and keyboard (harpsichord). The work is also referred to as HHA iv/18,41.
The work was originally attributed to 'Sr Weisse' (?Johann Sigismund Weiss), but is now considered to have been written by Handel. There is no autograph, but the sonata appears in an important manuscript of 18th century solo sonatas in the Brussels
Sonata in G major (HWV 358)
The Sonata in G major (HWV 358) was composed (c. 1707-10) by George Frideric Handel, for an unspecified instrument and keyboard (harpsichord). The work is also referred to as HHA iv/18,3. (There is no HG designation for the work.)
For an unknown reason, Handel did not indicate the instrumentation or the tempo markings on the movements. In fact, the original manuscript does not even mention that it is a "sonata".
