Best Answer

He influenced most of the classical composers. Especially Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven: Both Mozart and Beethoven studied his works for their own knowledge on counterpoint and Mozart wrote an arrangement to Handel's most well known work Messiah. He also used the theme from Messiah, "And With His Stripes" in the Kyrie of his Requiem. He is reputed to have said of him, "Handel understands affect better than any of us. When he chooses, he strikes like a thunder bolt." Beethoven wrote that he was "the master of us all... the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb". Beethoven also emphasised above all the simplicity and popular appeal of Handel's music when he said..Haydn was inspired to write his two greatest oratorios The Creation and The Seasons after hearing performances of Handel's Israel in Egypt and Messiah in London. His music also inspired pieces from later composers such as Brahms, Grainger and Schoenberg.

Who composed The Messiah?

George Frideric Handel. Born in Saxony, prior to him becoming a naturalised British subject in 1726, his name was Georg Friedrich Händel.


What was Handel's part in the Romantic period?

Handel died in 1759, at least fifty years before the transition to the Romantic period. However, as one of the great Baroque composers, Handel certainly had an influence on later composers. Handel was more experimental when it came to the use of dynamics, and the Romantic era composers capitalised on the expressive use of changing dynamics. Beethoven, the composer considered to be the "bridge" between the Classical and Romantic periods, was certainly influenced by Handel's style of composition, and it is considered that Beethoven's later compositions were reminiscent of Handel's style of counterpoint. Beethoven was heard to observe that Handel was the greatest composer who ever lived, so it is natural that he incorporated some of Handel's style in his own compositions. Handel did not compose the simpler melodies that many of his contemporaries did. As well, he scored more complex instrumentation in his oratorios and operas than his contemporaries. Romantic music was known for its extravagant orchestration.
