Summary of This Book
This collection highlights solo keyboard pieces that are often less performed, while revealing the inventive richness of Georg Friedrich Handel. It includes 35 works selected among his most beautiful pieces, designed for in-depth study of the baroque language: articulation, ornamentation, voice leading, sense of dance, and phrase construction. The inclusion of eight "great suites" and a Fugue in A minor offers a particularly stimulating ground, both for building a concert program and for developing a solid and stylistically informed keyboard technique.
Based on a major editorial source, this volume offers a new presentation: the order of the pieces and their titles have been revised to align with a more current musicological approach. This is a concrete advantage for students and teachers, who benefit from a coherent pathway and a classification closer to research references. Musicians will also find an expressive and contrasting repertoire, where one can perceive ideas that Handel reused and developed in chamber music, orchestral works, as well as in certain dance movements of opera. An essential resource for anyone seeking a baroque keyboard score that is instructive, inspiring, and enduring.
