Sketch of the Life of Handel by the outstanding English music historian Charles Burney (1726–1814) is a part of his Account of the Musical Performances… in Commemoration of Handel written after the grandiose music festival which took place in London in 1784. The Sketch is a valuable document of the epoch: its author, having been acquainted with Handel during the last fifteen years of the composer’s life, included in it not only biographical facts, collected from several sources, but also his own evidences and observations. As an erudite, Burney puts Handel’s life and work into wide cultural context of the epoch: the Sketch contains information about the most significant performers, whom Handel cooperated with, and also references to the most important literature works — essays, pamphlets, tracts — which reflect music-theatre actuals of the age. Being possessed with non-insignificant writer’s abilities, Burney creates at the same time historical and literary work of considerable merit. The translation is supplied with detailed commentary.
