About this book
Romain Rolland describes this book as only a short sketch, and says a whole lifetime would hardly be enough for Handel. The first part follows the composer's life; the second turns to his technique and works, with sections on the operas, the oratorios, the clavier pieces, the chamber music and the orchestral works. Appendices give a list of his works and a bibliography.
Henry Holt of New York published the translation by A. Eaglefield Hull in 1916, with seventeen musical examples, four plates and an editor's introduction that counts thirty-nine operas and gives Zachau a role in shaping the young Handel.
