Piano Music - Georg Friedrich Handel

Georg Friedrich Handel


1685 - 1759
Georg Friedrich Handel was a German-British Baroque composer.



📖 "Learn all there is to learn, and then choose your own path."


📖 "I should be sorry, my Lord, if I have only succeeded in entertaining them; I wish to make them better."
To Lord Kinnoull after the first London performance of Messiah


📖 "What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one's faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely on our works-my God, what would become of us?"


📖 "I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself."
In words to his servant, who found Handel alone and weeping, after completing Part II of Messiah with the 'Hallelujah Chorus.'
