The Life of George Frederick Handel is a biography of the famous composer written by William Smyth Rockstro and first published in 1883. The book provides a comprehensive account of Handel's life, from his birth in Germany in 1685 to his death in London in 1759. It covers his early musical training, his travels throughout Europe, and his eventual settlement in England, where he became a naturalized citizen and composed some of his most famous works, including Messiah and Water Music. Rockstro's biography also explores Handel's personal life, including his relationships with patrons, colleagues, and friends, as well as his struggles with physical and mental health. The book is richly illustrated with portraits, musical scores, and other documents, and includes detailed analyses of Handel's compositions and their historical context. Overall, The Life of George Frederick Handel is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most important composers of the Baroque era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
