...there's quite a bit of question as to what exactly constitutes Handel's violin sonatas....Editor Donald Burrows feels that, because of range and style, some of these suspect works also were intended as violin sonatas....The advantage of the newly reprinted Peters edition is that there are more pieces to choose from, the music is clear and easy to read, the page turns considerate, and the keyboard realization simple, but effective.--Sarah Freiberg, for STRINGS (September 2010)
