Tune of the Day: Adagio by Handel
from Flute Sonata in E minor
This is the opening Adagio of Handel's Halle Sonata No. 2. The flute strives slowly up the scale over a more quickly descending figure in the bass, then levels off into a series of gently rolling phrases.
This is a transcription of the opening movement of Handel's Oboe Sonata in C minor.
