HWVInstrumentKeyComposedPublishedOpusNotes
357OboeB-flat major1710-00-00circa 1707–100000-00-00One of Handel's earliest extant compositions. Probably written during his years in Italy
358UnspecifiedG major1710-00-00circa 1707–100000-00-00A "Fitzwilliam" sonata. The autographed manuscript, located in the Fitzwilliam Museum, does not mention instrumentation, nor are there tempo markings for the movements. It is tentatively assigned to the violin in the HHA, however the recorder is also a possibility.
359aViolinD minor1724-00-00circa 17240000-00-00The D minor sonata, headed "Sonata 2", follows the G major sonata (HWV 358) in the Fitzwilliam Museum autograph. Originally written for violin and published in two different E minor versions for the flute. See flute sonata in E minor (HWV 359b)
359bFluteE minor1724-00-00circa 17241732-00-00173201bOpus 1 No. 1bOf the two sonatas published by Chrysander as Opus 1 Sonata I, this one (Sonata Ib) is the one in Walsh's original edition (where it is called Sonata I).

367aRecorderD minor1726-00-00circa 17120000-00-0009aOpus 1 No. 9aMovements 1–5 constitute the "Fitzwilliam Sonata III" in Thurston Dart's arrangement. Originally published Flute Sonata in B minor, Op 1 No 9b (HWV 367b). The contemporary edition of Handel attributes it to the transverse flute, but the autograph manuscript is clearly for the recorder.
