(from The Water Music)
George Frideric Handel
(1685-1759)
These two pieces were obviousJy intendedto be played in alternation (alternativement), but Handel does not specify which should
come first. In other words, choose either I - II - I or II I - II and see how differently the piece turns out. In any case I should be
delicate and 11 quite robust in character.
