The Lucky BlacksmithGeorg Friedrich Händel82rank/position

Haendel “The Harmonious Blacksmith” – Eri Mantani, piano

A piece composed by George Frideric Handel, who was active in an era before the piano had been invented.

It is one of the suites written for the harpsichord, the keyboard instrument of that time.

Its bright and lively character perfectly matches the image suggested by the title “The Harmonious Blacksmith,” making it a delight to listen to.

A simplified version with fewer notes is included in many beginner piano books, so it’s also very popular as a recital piece.

It might be nice to spend some calm time with your baby on the way and play it on the piano for them to hear.
