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. [Oliver Smith, in: The Recorder Magazine, 2024]
