520 _a"Musical Myths and Facts, Volume 2" by Carl Engel is a collection of essays and anecdotes related to music, composed in the late 19th century. This volume dives into various musical traditions, myths, and historical accounts, focusing particularly on notable composers like Handel and the tales surrounding music's mystical and supernatural elements. The opening of the book primarily presents a detailed exploration of the early life and career of the eminent composer George Frederick Handel, specifically through the lens of Johann Mattheson, a contemporary musician who documented their interactions in Hamburg. Engel recounts Mattheson's observations with a critical eye, revealing his jealousy and the richness of Handel's journey from a law student to a successful composer. The text examines key moments, such as Handel's struggles and rivalries, set against the backdrop of their musical achievements and the dynamics of their friendship, making it clear that Engel intends to untangle fact from fiction in the realm of musical history.
