George Frideric Handel

What's this piece like?
Handel was one of the first major composers to write sonatinas and this genre quickly took off as a staple of pedagogical keyboard music during the 18th century. In this piece, Handel explores fast-running notes in the main theme and makes extensive use of wrist rotation in the second theme.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
