GProf. Bruno Schrader in the April
Forum.l
When the centenary of Handels
death approached, two of his admirers
decided to pay a tribute similar to that
which Bache had received. These men
Were the professor of literature. Georg
Gottfried Gervinus, and the historian
of music, Friedrich Chrysander. The
latter who was then in his thirtieth
year, had already published the first
volume of his celebrated Biography
OF G.. +. Handel" This faithful in
vestigator has now passed his seventy
fourth year, and is still engaged In re-
vealing the true nature of the eminent
composer. Thus, for over forty years
his labors in this field have been un-
renting.
In 1856, both Chrysander and Ger
vinus aimed at the establishment of a
Handel society, whose object was to
be the publication and propagation OF
HANDLES works. Such n society had
been already established In London In
1913. The edition which it published
was, however, incomplete. and just as
Incorrect as that of 1856.
For this reason an entirely new edition
was absolutely essential. Chrysander
and Gervinus chose Hauptmann and
