The Violin sonata in E major (HWV 373) is a work for
violin and keyboard (harpsichord) that was originally
thought to have been composed by George Frideric
Handel. Modern scholars however believe it doubtful
that the work was composed by Handel, and have labelled
it as "spurious". The work was first published in 1730
by John Walsh.
John Walsh (1665 or 1666–1736) was an English music
publisher of Irish descent, established off the Strand,
London, by c. 1690. He was appointed musical
instrument-maker-in-ordinary to the king in 1692.
Although originally written for Violin and period
keyboard, I created this arrangement for Flute & Piano.
