Sarabande from Suite HWV 437

Suite No. 4 in D minor (4/6) - Theme and variations$$$$$$This Sarabande in D minor by George Frideric Handel is the fourth of six movements in the Suite No. 4 in D minor, HWV 437.

This suite was composed ca 1703-1706, and was first published in London in 1733.

It has six movements :

1. Prélude
2. Allemande
3. Courante
4. Sarabande
5. Gigue
6. Sonatina HWV 581

This sarabande features a beautifully meditative theme followed by two variations.

Please note that this score contains suggestions for performing the ornaments (here, trills) in accordance with the performance practice of the Baroque period.

Namely, we suggest adding a schleifer (or slide), cadential trill and arpeggiated chord in measures 15 and 16.

Also, similar cadential trills can be added to measures 31 and 47.$$$$$$Duration : 02:39$$$$$$Source : George Frideric Handel, Suites & Overtures for Keyboard, HWV 426-456$$$$$$EgVPrviDHSU
