This Allegro is the second movement of Georg Frideric Handel's Violin Sonata in A major, HWV 361, composed around 1725. Unlike the other movements in the sonata, this one features some passages with double stops (multiple notes played at the same time), which we have simplified in order to make the piece playable on the flute.

This famous instrumental Spanish piece, also known in English as the “Spanish Gypsy Dance”, was written by Pascual Marquina Narro around 1923, and first recorded in 1926. Its main refrain is arguably the best known snippet of Spanish music, and is popular worldwide. Arrangements of the tune are often used for the Latin Pasodoble dance, to the point that, among Latin dancers, it is known as “the pasodoble song”. “España Cañí” is also often played during bullfights, usually at a slower tempo for dramatic effect.
Thanks to Valeria for suggesting this tune!

This Larghetto is the opening movement of Georg Frideric Handel's Violin Sonata in G minor, HWV 364a, composed around 1722-24.

Handel's original manuscript states that the sonata would be suitable “per la Viola da Gamba” (a Baroque-era instrument resembling a cello), suggesting that the change of instrument was probably sanctioned by the publishers, Walsh and Chrysander.

This spirited polka tune comes from central France, probably from either the Auvergne or the Limousin region. It is related to the “Mazurka de Lapleau”, which has a very similar melody but differs by being in 3/4 time.
