RISM H1212, HH1212.Handel composed his organ concertos for his own performance as interludes within oratorio concerts; those who heard Handel himself perform these pieces experienced an intimate connection to the composer's musical delivery and improvisational style. "The organ concerto was effectively Handel's own invention, allowing him to display his abilities in both performance and composition simultaneously, and most of his oratorio concerts included one or more from 1735 onwards. Six (one originally a harp concerto, delicately scored for muted strings and recorders) were collected and published by Walsh in 1738 as Handel's op.4. No.2 in B♭ and no.3 in G minor, the earliest to be composed, draw on the op.2 trio sonatas for their material, and no.5 is simply an arrangement of a recorder sonata, but nos.1 in G minor and 4 in F are more expansive and original pieces." Anthony Hicks in Grove Music OnlineA lifetime edition of Handel's influential Op. 4 organ concertos.
