Product Description

Opus/Catalog Number: HWV 582
Key/Tone: G Major
Movements/Sections: Sonatina
Year/Date of Composition: 1721-1722
Difficulty: Grade 5/12 (Intermediate)
Obs.: This piece is part of the Aylesford manuscript, where it is entitled Fuga. The Italian word fuga means an escape, or a flight.
Although this is not a strictly formed fugue (in the style of Bach's fugues, for instance), it does feature imitation, fleeing and chasing between the two hands.
Although Handel's manuscript does not contain any ornaments, cadential trills are suggested to measures 6, 8, 12, 16 and 18. Our edition thus contains suggestions for realizing these trills in accordance with the performance practice of the Baroque period. Namely, such trills begin ON the beat, on the upper auxiliary note. More on less repercussions may be played depending on the player's taste and ability. Please note finally that some editions show an E in measure 5 (7th note, left hand). This could be justified by what is done in measure 7. Handel's manuscript however clearly shows a G.
