I wish you music to help with the burdens of life ,and to help you release your happiness to others.
Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers; from him I can still learn.
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape.
Handel, to him I bow the knee.
I know no other sign of superiority than Goodness.
