The connection between Handel and fugues may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Baroque keyboard music. Yet, in addition to incorporating fugues into his larger works, Handel also composed standalone fugues dating back to his time in Hamburg. Our edition presents the well-known Six Fugues (HWV 605–610) alongside two additional isolated fugues (HWV 611 and 612). Interestingly, Handel later reused some of these fugues in his concerti grossi, the oratorio "Israel in Egypt," and a trio sonata, where they have become more widely recognized than the original compositions. Notably, Handel's fugues were largely notated without ornaments, and our edition deliberately reproduces them in this original form, providing performers the flexibility to incorporate their own interpretive embellishments.

In the early 18th century, the recorder gained significant acclaim as a solo instrument among amateur musicians. This included members of the English court, particularly princesses, for whom Handel likely composed his six recorder sonatas around 1725/26 for their musical enjoyment and education. Shortly after their creation, only four of these sonatas were published, allowing them to reach a wider audience, while the remaining two were not identified for the recorder until the 20th century. Due to their engaging melodies and rhythms, these pieces, which feature relatively accessible recorder parts, are considered some of the most exquisite compositions for the instrument. In contrast, the continuo part, characterized by extensive bass lines and intricate figures, demands a player with considerable skill.
