Piano Suites (London 1720), Georg Friedrich Handel. Piano solo

DESCRIPTION
George Frideric Handels powerful musical personality reveals itself not only in the large forms of opera, oratorio, and orchestral suite, but also in his compositions for keyboard. The focus here is on the eight Suites of his first printed collection from 1720, which by no means comprise standardised sequences of dance movements. On the contrary -- free-form movements of great artistic weight predominate, inserting themselves between lighter dance pieces. Handels suites always display a distinctive individuality, and deserve a larger presence in our concert halls. We were able to engage Handel specialist Anthony Hicks as the editor of this Urtext edition.
