Handel, L’Harmonieux Forgeron

Original work: George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), Air with variations from the Suite in E major for harpsichord, published in 1720, known as the ‘Harmonious Blacksmith’.
Transcription: by 1866, for publication by F. Lambert, whose activities as a publisher are otherwise unknown. This was evidently his first publication. The music is not so much a transcription as a fingered edition for pianists.
