Handel’s sonatas for one solo instrument and basso continuo are some of the finest examples found in the genre. The three oboe sonatas found in our new edition are  prime examples of this.<br>

 The  Urtext  of the Halle Handel Complete Edition forms the basis for the new publication.  As a  scholarly critical edition it is concerned with the authentic sonatas written  by Handel and not  those often found in other collections which are either transcriptions of works  originally  composed for other instruments (e. g. the F major sonata which is often found  in G major) or  spurious compositions. All editorial additions are clearly indicated and as  such players have a  solid basis for rendering performances true to the composer's intentions. The  publication  includes an informative historical as well as performance practice introduction  by the noted  Handel scholar Terence Best. It contains a score and two oboe/basso continuo  parts.<br>

 All of this adds up to a sure winner for oboists.<br>
