Product description
Georg Friedrich Handel (1685-1759) wrote the three suites of Water Music and the Fireworks music for three boat trips of the King on the river Thames in 1715, 1717 and 1736 and for the peace celebrations marking the end of the Austrian war of succession (1741-1748). These brilliant open-air works are now available in the popular 'Get to Know Classical Masterpieces' series. Including easy piano settings as well as explanatory texts and colourful pictures, this volume makes these popular and important works by the great German-English composer accessible to beginners and experienced players alike.
Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759) was a German organist, harpsichordist, teacher and composer of the Baroque period, who left humanity a unique artistic heritage. We know more than 600 compositions from him, and many of his operas and oratorios are among the most valuable in European music. His music is generally characterized as festive, royal and attractive.
