George Frideric Handel: piano pieces, easiest first
George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) was born in Halle, in Germany, in the same year as J. S. Bach. After years in Italy he settled in London, where he spent most of his life and became one of the most famous composers in Europe. He wrote Italian operas, then English oratorios, among them Messiah, as well as the Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks.
He was also a fine keyboard player, and he wrote suites and shorter pieces for the harpsichord: dances, fugues, preludes and overtures. On the piano they are bright, clear Baroque music, a good companion to Bach's easier pieces.
