These variations are among Handel’s best-known keyboard works. The composer was allegedly inspired to create its unusual theme when seeking refuge in a smithy’s shop from a sudden rain-shower he heard the blacksmith singing a cheerful melody to the sound of his anvil. Handel used the theme with five variations as the closing movement of his fifth keyboard suite which he published in 1720. With its catchy theme the Harmonious Blacksmith variations enjoyed increasing popularity thereafter including as an independent piece. The edition presented here uses Handel’s edition of the Suite as its main source (since he definitely checked it personally) along with the availablemanuscript sources. G. F. Handel (1685-1759) was a German-born British composer and organist who spent his life working in London. In addition to his well-known large-scale works like the Water Music and Music for the RoyalFireworks he wrote nearly 200 smaller works for keyboard instruments. The Harmonious Blacksmith is a popular name given to the final movement of Handel's Suite No. 5 in E major forHarpsichord more properly known as Air and Variations (HWV 430). The work was published in 17620 but the name was added at some point in the 19th century some 75 years after the composer’s death.
