The idiomatic piano reduction, based on the Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition, and the excellent page layout offer an optimum basis for professional performances at the highest level. The new German translation by Peter Brenner, one of the most highly regarded Writers in this field, closely follows the rhyme pattern and metrical scheme of the Italian original while remaining fresh and natural.
