Samuel Arnold produced the first authoritative edition of this piece, which determined the sequence in which the constituent movements are most often played. In this piece, a flauto piccolo, which is called for the trio to a minuet in G minor and for a gigue, is often taken to be a sopranino recorder. The second set of works in this piece includes several alternating fanfares between horns and trumpets, including in a movement in 3/2 time that was the only movement from the second suite included in Hamilton Harty's compilation, which otherwise only drew from the first suite in F. For 10 points, the famous "Alla Hornpipe" in D is from the second of what three suites written for George I's barge trip down the Thames by Georg Frideric Handel?
