George Fr. Handel - Fugue IV in B minor, HWV 608 (c. 1720)

George Frideric (or Frederick) Handel (born Georg Friedrich Händel 23 February 1685 (O.S.) [(N.S.) 5 March] - 14 April 1759) was a German, later British, baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, becoming well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Handel received important training in Halle and worked as a composer in Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712; he became a naturalized British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and by the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition.

Fugue IV in B minor, HWV 608, from Six fugues or Voluntarys for the organ (harpsichord) before 1720
Leo van Doeselaar, organ
I couldn't find info about the instrument nor location
According to Grove Music, these are probably for harpsichord, and written before 1720.

Seems like one of the countless Bach's chorals. "Open space" sounds. Thanks, Bartje

I am not convinced the 6 Fugues were actually written by Handel. They are just too archaic and basic especially compared to his other keyboard works like the Suites.

​@@bartjebartmans I think they are just earlier works, and I really like them. Some of these were reused almost literally in later works so the authorship is clear to me (even if Handel was a well known borrower)
