Some Composers
including three with museums in England.
My favourite composer is J.S.Bach(1685-1750).
Handel and Mozart compete for second place.
If I continued further, other baroque composers would feature, including H. Purcell(1659-1695) and G.F.Telemann(1681-1767).
George Frideric Handel(1685-1750)
The Handel House Museum, 25 Brook Street, London W1K 4HB
This museum (now 10 years old) is in the house where Handel lived for the last 35 years of his life(1723-1759). The above spelling is the one he used during this time.
Edward Elgar(1857-1934)(Elgar Society)
Elgar Birthplace Museum(near Worcester).
Gustav Holst(1874-1934)(K Taylor)
