Handel in the Strand (on his skateboard)

This piece is most jolly, and sounds jollier still at a brisk tempo. As I have small hands, plus arthritis in both thumbs, for this second take I rearranged many of the wide chords and octaves to enable me to get up speed. I imagine Handel flying down the Strand on his skateboard, his wig streaming out behind him...

Thank you, Alison!

Brava Nancy! The understated musical humor reminds me of Rachmaninoff's arrangement of Bach

Nice performance. I too recorded this - and rearranged some of the 'wider' chords to fit my hands! I like what you are wearing - very Handelian.

Thank you; interesting that you did the same....
