George Frideric Handel

1685  –  1759

George Frideric Handel's keyboard suites — eight in the famous 1720 collection and a second set published later — combine the French overture, Italian aria, and German fugue traditions in a single, immediately appealing whole.

The "Harmonious Blacksmith" variations from the E-major Suite remain one of the most popular Baroque keyboard works.
