The Recorder Magazine (2014)
These sonatas by George Bingham were originally published in Amsterdam between 1702 and 1706. It contains many miniature pieces in the English style with several jigs, hornpipes and airs, including a snappy Scotch Air and a more graceful and legato English Air. There are also French movements with several bourées, minuets and gavottes. At the end of the publication there is also a Ciaccona by Gottfried Finger which becomes more virtuosic with fast passage-work in places. However, over all these pieces are only of a moderate difficulty for recorder players. This modern edition has a thoroughly researched editorial commentary and the editor, Nicola Sansone, has produced a fine publication for performance. (Oliver Smith)
