Summary | "Handel" by Romain Rolland is a biographical account that delves into the life and works of the renowned composer George Frederick Handel, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide a concise sketch of Handel's musical journey, exploring not only his artistic technique but also the influences that shaped his career and the historical context of the time. The opening of the work introduces readers to the familial background of Handel, detailing his origins in Halle and the characters of his parents. It describes the early conflicts between Handel's musical aspirations and his father's wishes for him to study law, setting the stage for his eventual emergence as a musical prodigy against the backdrop of his father's opposition. Additionally, the narrative highlights his formative years under the mentorship of his first music teacher, Friedrich Wilhelm Zachau, emphasizing the development of his musical foundation and the early signs of his extraordinary talent. This rich context provides a glimpse into the complexities of Handel's path to greatness and invites further exploration of his influential role in the history of music.
