Suite No. 2 in F major, HWV427

Available for over a year

Part of Handel's Eight Great Suites, these works are varied in style and structure. Suite No. 2 begins with a restful adagio followed by a lively allegro. The second adagio and allegro fugue are a tranquil contrast; the first allegro was a highlight of the baroque period.
