has gloss | eng: The Flute sonata in B minor (HWV 367b) is a work for flute and keyboard (harpsichord), however the sonata was originally composed (circa 1725-26) by George Frideric Handel as a Recorder sonata in D minor (HWV 367a). The work was first published as "Opus 1, No. 9", some time after 1726 in an unauthorised and "disgracefully botched" edition—in fact by John Walsh of London but with a forged title page claiming Jeanne Roger of Amsterdam as the publisher—in which it was transposed to B minor for flute from its original key of D minor, and with its third and fourth movements omitted. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii,32; and HHA iv/3,42. |
