George Frideric Handel George Frideric Handel was
one of the greatest composers of the late baroque
period (1700 - 1750) and, during his lifetime,
perhaps the most internationally famous of all
musicians. Handel was born February 24, 1685, in

Life On Earth Kilometers In Diameter

What would happen if the moon was destroyed? I
have often wondered what would happen if the moon
were destroyed and how it would be destroyed.
Would a crazy scientist nuke it? Maybe an asteroid
would hit it. Astronomers have catalogued all
large objects in space that are larger than 500
kilometers in diameter and non-of them seem to be
headed towards our moon. Based on this
information, the only conclusion that I can come
up with, was if the moon was to be blown up by
some crazy scientist. Many ...

Piano Concerto Full Attention

Franz Josef Haydn wrote quite a few concerti for
piano, which have never really enjoyed the
popularity of such pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart. While some accuse Haydn's piano concerti
of being too light or having no meaning, I find
those to be inaccurate surface impressions. I have
found a great deal of enjoyment from these pieces
of Haydn, and one of my favourites of his piano
concerti is the seventh. Haydn's seventh piano
concerto was written in the key of F Major, and is
