Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Indebtedness of Handel to Works by Other Composers: A Presentation of Evidence
In chapters VI and VII a full presentation is made of the processes by which older materials were transformed - sometimes really trans - Int0 large portions of that choral masterpiece, Israel in Egypt. The contents of these chapters will, I venture to hope, prove of permanent value to students of composition, as they afford a close view of Handel obtaining some of his mightiest effects by methods of the most unexpected and wonderful character.
The concluding chapter contains a discussion of the question whether Handel was morally justified in dealing as he did with works by other composers.
