Baroque elegance and expressive refinement define this distinguished chamber collection attributed to George Frideric Handel. 6 Sonatas for Violin and Piano, Volume 2 (Sonatas Nos. 4–6), edited by Zino Francescatti and published by International Music Company (IMC), presents three richly characterized works for violin and piano. The Sonata in D Major, Op. 1 No. 13, HWV 371—believed to be Handel’s final chamber composition—stands as one of his strongest sonatas, featuring deeply expressive slow movements, buoyant and virtuosic counterpoint in the second movement, and a lively dance-like finale that shares thematic material with his oratorio Jephtha. The Sonata in A Major, Op. 1 No. 14, HWV 372 and Sonata in E Major, Op. 1 No. 15, HWV 373—though their authorship has been questioned by modern scholars—radiate warmth, clarity, and graceful Baroque charm. Each sonata unfolds in four movements, offering balanced contrasts of lyricism and vitality. This IMC edition provides a practical and performance-ready volume for recital and stylistic study.
