520 _a"Handel: The Story of a Little Boy who Practiced in an Attic" by Thomas Tapper is a children's biography that explores the early life of the illustrious composer George Frederick Handel. Written in the early 20th century, this book serves as part of a series meant to introduce young readers to the lives of great musicians. The topic centers around Handel's childhood and his determination to pursue music despite his father's opposition, showcasing his journey from a boy practicing in a secluded attic to becoming a celebrated composer. The narrative follows young Handel's love for music and his secret practice sessions in the attic, supported by his mother while facing opposition from his father, who wished for him to become a lawyer. The story recounts significant events, such as his determination to follow his father on a journey to meet the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels, where his talent first captured attention. We learn about his musical education, culminating in his rise to fame through various experiences in Germany and Italy, and highlights his most notable works, including the iconic oratorio "Messiah."
