The Sonata in A minor (HWV 362) was composed (c. 1712) by George Frideric Handel for recorder and basso continuo (the autograph manuscript, a fair copy made most likely in 1712, gives this instrumentation in Italian: "flauto e cembalo").
Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii, 15; and HHA iv/3,21.
[2] Both the Walsh edition and the Chrysander edition indicate that the work is for recorder ("flauto"), and published it as Sonata IV.
A typical performance of the work takes about 11 minutes.
The number of bars is taken from the Chrysander edition, and is the raw number in the manuscript—not including repeat markings.)
