Description:
As early as 1743, i.e. during Handel's lifetime, Francesco Geminiani created an arrangement of the "Water Music" for keyboard instruments to enable the popular work to be performed in a domestic setting.
Presumably in 1749 (London), an unknown musician arranged the "Music for the Royal Fireworks" for transverse flute or violin and harpsichord.
In addition to these two contemporary versions, the present edition contains an arrangement by the editor Rampe of the "Music for the Royal Fireworks" for harpsichord or organ based on the first edition. Both early sources name the harpsichord, but the arrangements can also be performed faithfully and effectively on the organ.
Since the surviving version by Anonymus only offers a solo part and figured bass notated as a two-part system, appropriate performance material (one part each for flute/oboe/violin and violoncello/contrabass as well as a suspended continuo part) has been added to the volume.
