George Frideric Handel (Born at Halle, February 23, 1685; died at London, April 14, 1759.) The present arrangement of movements from Handel's concerto is by Gustav Friedrich Kogel.* Little is known about the history of the original work. It is com- posed for two bands of two oboes, two horns, bassoons, and for strings. The date of composition is not known. Handel hardly ever dated a manuscript. Chrysander thinks the concerto belongs to Handel's later period, and that it was written between 1740 and 1750. It was published for the first time in the edition of the Ger- man Handel Society, 1886. We do not know where or when the work was first performed, or whether it were performed while Handel was alive, though there is every probability that it was. Kogel has taken five of the movements. The first, Pomposo, F major, 4-4,—"Mr. George Frideric Handel is by far the most superb personage one meets in the history of music,"—is in the conven- tional form of what is known as the Lully overture. "The form of the overture of Lully's time consisted of a slow Introduction, generally repeated, and followed by an Allegro in the fugued style and occasionally included a movement in one of the many dance- forms of the period, sometimes two pieces of this description." (The French overture—the Lully—began with a slow introductory movement; the Italian overture, with a quick movement.) The second movement follows, Allegro, F major, 3-4. The third, A tempo ordinario, F major, 4-4, is the sixth of the original. The fourth is the fourth of the original, Largo, D minor, 12-8, with violin solo. It partakes of the nature of a Siciliano. The final movement is the eighth of the original, Allegro, F major, 12-8. The original is full of Handelian mannerisms, and students of the organ concertos will here and there recognize familiar passages. The instrumentation is often of an antiphonal character; the dif- ferent wind-choirs answer the strings and vice versa. In his method of dividing the orchestra into separate and distinct families Handel anticipated in a measure the processes of modern masters of instrumentation. * Kogel was born on January 16, 1840, at Leipsic. He died at Frankfort in November, 1921. A graduate of the Leipsic Conservatory, he taught for a while in Alsace, but in 1874 began his career as a conductor (opera house of Nuremberg, Dortmund, Ghent, Aix-la-Chapelle, Cologne, Leipsic). He was chosen conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin, in 1887; from 1891 to 1903 he conducted the Museum Concerts at Frankfort. He edited editions of operas and orchestral works. In New York on December 4, 5, 8, 10, 1903, and on November 11, 12, 1904, he conducted concerts by the Philharmonic Society in New York. Variations on a Theme by Josef Haydn, in B-flat major, Op. 56a. Johannes Brahms (Joseph Haydn, born at Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809. Johannes Brahms, born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897.) Brahms in 1873 sought vainly a quiet country place for the summer. He lodged for two days in Gratwein, Styria, and was driven away by the attentions of some "aesthetic ladies." He then went to Tutzing, on Lake Starnberg, and rented an attic room in the Seerose. The night he arrived he received a formal invitation to join a band of young authors, painters, and musicians, who met in the inn. He left the Seerose early in the morning, and the fragments of the invitation were found on the floor of his room. He then went to Hermann Levi' s house in Munich, and stayed there during the early part of the summer.
