Handel - Keyboard Works for Solo Instrument

Publisher: Dover Publications
Series: Dover Classical Piano Music
Publication Date: 1st September 1982

This collection features the celebrated Eight Great Suites

For this new edition, the pieces have been rearranged and retitled according to the latest scholarly sequences found in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.

Students and scholars will find many of the ideas Handel sketched here expanded and reworked in later chamber and orchestral works and in the opera dance movements; musicians and every Baroque music lover will see in these neglected pieces "a Protean fluidity" (New Grove) worthy of the great composer, and more than worthy of any musical library.
