The sonata is part of the collection of two- to five-part sonatas from 1682. Experimental in form and harmony. Largely executable in the 1st position.
An overall view of the trio sonatas, which Amadeus strives for, only conveys the wealth of compositional ideas that Quantz knew how to spread in these early works.
First Edition
From Rosenmüller's collection of sonatas for two to five voices from 1682, which are characterized by a bold experimentation with form and harmony. Executable in the 1st position.
The varied forms of the Trii op. 5 show Handel's proven practice of 'exploiting' the popular thematic wealth of his orchestral works and organ concertos in chamber music.
The suite-like arrangement of op.6, with its free treatment of symmetry in dialogues, leads via a round of dances into a 252-bar chaconne of intoxicating sonic splendor.
