Violin sonata in G minor (HWV 364a)

The Violin sonata in G minor (HWV 364a) was composed (c. 1722–24) by George Frideric Handel for violin and keyboard (harpsichord). The work is also referred to as Opus 1 No. 6, and was first published in 1732 by Walsh. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii,22; and HHA iv/18,6.[1] Also published in HG xlviii,118 (with an extra part for Organo).

Both the Walsh edition and the Chrysander edition indicate that the work is for oboe, and published it as Sonata VI. It is not known whether Handel sanctioned the change of instrument, however the fact that the piece contains notes beyond the range of the oboe would suggest that he did not. Handel's original manuscript indicates that the sonata would be suitable "per la Viola da Gamba"—and the version of the work for that instrument is designated as HWV 364b.

A typical performance of the work takes just over 7 minutes.

Movements

The work consists of four movements:

Movement Type Key signature Time signature Bars Notes
1 Larghetto G minor 4
4		 17 Concludes with a brief adagio and a D major chord.
2 Allegro G minor 4
4		 45
3 Adagio E♭ major 3
4		 11 Concludes with a D major chord.
4 Allegro G minor 12
8		 30 Two sections (10 and 20 bars)—each with repeat markings. Begins in G minor, but quickly adds flecks of colour from other keys.

(Movements do not contain repeat markings unless indicated. The number of bars is taken from the Chrysander edition, and is the raw number in the manuscript—not including repeat markings.)

gollark: They would use a much more suitable esolang, like Befunge.
gollark: Also, cool use of invisible characters: encode data as invisible character sequences and mix it in with text so it'll be persisted through copy-pasting, though not screenshotting.
gollark: Apparently Unicode has an invisible comma character. It looks like this: ⁣. One must wonder why they thought this was necessary.
gollark: Anyone know where I can find a large dataset of privacy policies, for neural network training?

I don't think trying to replay IP or Ethernet packets (whatever gets sent to the network card) has any chance of working to meddle with a higher-level service.
