He seems to have taken it up again only after he settled in England in 1712, and during the next few years he wrote a large number of harpsichord works, with a peak about 1717, when he was becoming involved with the music at Cannons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApparently Handel was in no hurry to publish these compositions, and manuscript copies were made for friends and patrons. The primary source for our text is the third impression of the Cluer edition. As well as the Walsh, le Cène and Leclerc editions there are important manuscript sources, including some autographs, which give much additional information concerning the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBärenreiter produces editions which offer the latest in musicological research, together with an excellent layout and high quality printing.
