Handel: Menuet in G major, HWV 521

 

I recorded this piece a couple years ago, but I wanted to re-do it.  I thought the tempo was too slow, and I'd spelt it "minuet" instead of "menuet" like the rest of the Handel pieces I've done, so it stuck out.

This bears some similarity to Handel's Passepied in C major, HWV 559.

Perhaps coincidentally, the first few notes in the right hand are almost exactly the same as those in a Telemann minuet (TWV 34:2) that I recorded on mandolin last year.

Handel: Gavotte in G major, HWV 491

I got this arrangement from flutetunes.com, and it was only after I'd recorded it that I discovered that Handel wrote it for solo harpsichord.

On the Hohner Pianet demonstration record, there's a minuet where the Pianet plays as accompaniment and a Hohner melodica plays as solo instrument.  This is my attempt at doing something like that.
