George Frideric Handel, while renowned for his musical compositions, didn’t leave behind a collection of notable quotes as some other historical figures did. However, here are a few attributed to him:
”I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wish to make them better.”
”When I want to laugh, I listen to Mozart. When I want to cry, I listen to Handel.”
”Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived… I would uncover my head and kneel down on his tomb.”
”To God alone the glory.”
”My master Handel, but I would undertake to set twenty words of his to twenty notes on condition of being paid for my bad work.”
While these quotes might not be directly from Handel’s writings or speeches, they are reflections of the impact and reverence he held among his contemporaries and subsequent generations of musicians and music lovers.
