List of compositions by George Frideric Handel

George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) composed works including 42 operas; 24 oratorios; more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets; numerous arias; odes and serenatas; solo and trio sonatas; 18 concerti grossi; and 12 organ concertos.

Collected editions of Handel's works include the Händel-Gesellschaft (HG) and the Hallische Händel-Ausgabe (HHA), but the more recent Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis (HWV) publication is now commonly used to number his works. For example, Handel's Messiah can be referred to as: HG xlv, HHA i/17, or HWV 56.^[1] Some of Handel's music is also numbered based on initial publications, for example a 1741 publication by Walsh labelled twelve of Handel's concerti grossi as Opus 6.

List of solo sonatas for various instruments (with keyboard accompaniment) by George Frideric Handel
HWV	Instrument	Key	Composed	Published	Opus	Notes
357	Oboe	B-flat major	c. 1707–10			One of Handel's earliest extant compositions. Probably written during his years in Italy
358	Unspecified	G major	c. 1707–10			A "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, though the recorder is also a possibility.
359a	Violin	D minor	c. 1724			The 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)
359b	Flute	E minor	c. 1724	1732	Opus 1 No. 1b	Of the two sonatas published by Chrysander as Opus 1 Sonata I, this one (Sonata I^b) is the one in Walsh's original edition (where it is called Sonata I).

The contemporary edition of Handel attributes it to the transverse flute, but the autograph manuscript is clearly for the recorder.

373	Violin	E major		1732	Opus 1 No. 15	Probably spurious. The piece was published by Walsh as Op 1 No. 12 in the original edition that had a faked title page naming Roger as the publisher; the designation Op 1 No.15 is Chrysander's
