Violin sonata in F major (HWV 370)
The Violin sonata in F major is a work for violin and keyboard that was originally thought to have been composed by George Frideric Handel. Modern scholars however believe it doubtful that the work was composed by Handel, and have labelled it as "spurious". The work is also referred to as Opus 1 No. 12, and was first published in 1732 by Walsh. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii,42; and HHA iv/4,40.
Both the Walsh edition and the Chrysander edition indicate that the work is for violin, and published it as Sonata XII.
