Hello!

I'm so pleased there's a newsgroup now devoted to Handel! That's quite an
honour, considering not even Beethoven has a newsgroup.

I'm a big fan of Handel, and I've been wondering about something. Maybe you
can help.

When he was young he was made to go into the attic to practice the
harpsichord. I imagine this was probably very hard, and it may have
affected him psychologically. But do you think it affected his music in
later life? He had such a joyous sound most of the time, but I also think
he was melancholy - like a seventeenth-century German bluesman who happened
to play baroque music and was white.

Thanks for your help.

DaveVH
