Ajoutée par magataganm, 24 Sep 2012 George Frideric Handel (German: Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 – 1759) was a German-born British Baroque composer, famous for his operas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. Handel was born in 1685, in a family indifferent to music. He received critical musical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712) and becoming a naturalised British subject in 1727. By then he was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. Falling into only three movements, this is the most abbreviated of Handel's oboe sonatas; it's also the earliest, found in a manuscript in the Fitzwilliam Museum that employs the type of paper Handel used in Venice and Hanover in 1709-1710. The work was not published during Handel's lifetime. The first movement lacks a tempo indication but is taken to be an Andante; the broad, stately melody would be appropriate in the more pastoral sections of Handel's Messiah and is just spare enough to invite lavish ornamentation in the repeats. The Grave takes an even more serious turn and reveals the influence of the plaintive Italian aria. But before this material has a chance to develop, Handel brings on a bright Allegro, full of quick, intricate melodic runs that are often canonically echoed in the continuo.
