Lord Fitzwilliam championed the performance of Handel’s music in late 18th century England, yet his own compositions – themselves often indebted to and inspired by Handel – have never before appeared in print. Surveying a broad cross section of Fitzwilliam’s works, this edition, prepared by Gerald Gifford, Honorary Keeper of Music at the Museum, is of considerable musicological interest and marks an important addition to the keyboard repertoire of the period.
