Originally written for keyboard, this arrangement showcases George Frederic Handel’s mastery of this Baroque form. It freely treats most of the variations to incorporate the use of a variety of string performance techniques. The techniques, tempo changes, style and position requirements for various sections make it ideal for grade 4 groups.
