from Concerto Grosso op.6 No.5
Opus 6 by the composer George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) comprises twelve works. Each one is a so-called "Concerto Grosso", a concert genre and instrumentation typical of the Baroque period, in which a smaller solo group faces a larger tutti. Handel's Concerto Grosso No. 5 (HWV 323) was composed – together with all the other Concerti Grossi of Opus 6 – in the autumn of 1739 within just one month. The minuet entitled “Un poco larghetto” forms the final movement of his work. Many composers took this as a model for their own work. This also applies to the Czech composer Pavel Stanek, who was inspired by the special beauty of the music for his arrangement. In doing so, he succeeded in a special way in transferring Handel's music for strings and harpsichord to the large wind orchestra without losing the character characterized by tenderness and intimacy.
