This is the fourth of the five movements in George Frideric Handel's Sonata in G major for flute and basso continuo. It is a binary-form (AABB) bourrée, sometimes called “bourrée anglaise”. This type of movement should be played at a quite rapid tempo, but it is often performed more calmly, especially when transcribed for other instruments.
