Flute sonata in D major (HWV 378)

The Flute sonata in D major (HWV 378) was composed (circa 1707) by George Frideric Handel, for flute and basso continuo. The work is also referred to as HHA iv/18,41.

The work was originally attributed to 'Sr Weisse' (Johann Sigismund Weiss), but is now considered to have been written by Handel.^[1] There is no autograph, but the sonata appears in an important manuscript of 18th century solo sonatas in the Brussels Royal Conservatory, and was published in facsimile in 1979.

A typical performance of the work takes about seven minutes.^{[citation needed]}
