Handel’s Oboe Sonata in F major HWV 363a was probably written at some point between 1711 and 1716. The sonata offers a vibrant and engaging dialogue between the solo oboe part and the accompanying (basso continuo) instruments. Five contrasting movements represent such typical baroque idioms as dances, ground bass, and imitation, and contain a variety of baroque effects. The sonata was later reworked into a Flute Sonata (G major, HWV363b). The final Minuetto was used again in 1734 in his Concerto Grosso No. 4 in F major Op. 3, HWV315.
