Georg Friedrich Handel (1685-1759), born in Halle Germany,
started his music lessons at age 7. In 1702 the death-bed wish
of his barber-surgeon father obligated him to divert his attention
to law school; he dropped out within a year, and went to Hamburg
as a violinist and composer. He went to Italy (1706) and became
a master of its opera, chamber, vocal music; returned to Germany
(1710) and was appointed Kappellmeister to the Elector of Hannover,
and made a brief visit to England. In 1712 he again visited England,
then remained until his death, as the Elector became George I of England.
