Handel and the Genius Myth in a Surgeon’s House
An essay asserts parents often oppose child prodigies and uses Handel as a case study. Handel’s surgeon father, age 63 at his birth, forbade schooling for fear of learning notes, prompting the boy to self teach on a garret clavichord until a Duke’s praise spurred formal lessons. A second note reports a Middletown incident where a youth named Green was shocked by a live wire while aiding in a search after a train and truck crash at the Ordnance Depot crossing. He returned home unharmed.
