I hate when I hear about things like this. I know it was the way at the time, but what a shame. Gives me the creeps!
Yeah, I just ripped this entire bio from the web, and have not had time to review it. So far, it's outright plagiarism. I may want to take out this little horror bit. The thought of Handel, and in particular Bach (who is my Musical God), suffering like that is just too much to contemplate ! But I guess people were used to so much more pain back then. Bunch of wimps we are these days :wink:
