Sobre este artículo
London: Printed by R. Major, 1817. One bifolium. 3, [i] (blank) pp.
Three movements including an Adagio, Allegro, and a March (the adagio and march are not included in what has become, in modern times, the standard version of the suite; see note below from Grove Music Online regarding suite groupings).
Some fingerings in pencil to the Allegro.
Small stain and tears, not affecting music; sewing holes to gutters. OCLC (one copy only, at the British Library).
"The major orchestral work of this period is the Water Music, a large-scale suite specially written to accompany a royal water party of June 1717, in which George I and his entourage were conveyed by barge along the Thames from Whitehall to Chelsea and back. The suite is remarkable for being the first orchestral work composed in England to include horns, crooked in both F and D; in movements in D major they are joined, sometimes in dialogue, by trumpets. The jovial opulence of such moments is balanced by lightly scored movements in both major and minor keys, mostly having G as their tonic. Though some of the music may have been written earlier for other contexts, the recent notion that the music was conceived or considered to exist as 'three suites' is questionable, since the earliest sources (keyboard transcripts from the early 1720s) show the movements in D and G in mixed order (as in the editions of Arnold and Chrysander). Ordering the movements by key had however become a practice by the 1730s, and is reflected in the keyboard arrangement published by Walsh in 1743." Anthony Hicks in Grove Music Online
An attractive keyboard arrangement of three movements from Handel's celebrated Water Music, with figured bass to facilitate arrangement for solo instrument and continuo.
