I am the Most famous Composer of the Baroque Period!... Well, Me and Vivaldi!! I was born on Feb. 23rd 1685 in Halle, Germany, the same year as Bach! My father had wanted me to be a lawyer but I Refused! I secretly studied music in my head and played in secret on a harpsichord that i found in the attic!! (But that was the Only thing I did in Private, I wasnt gay, well not that I can remember. I didnt have a wife either, but that was because of my Bad temper!!)I now play the Harpsichord and the Violin! Well not talk about my days at the Halle University but I did have some good times with the opera. I enjoyed it so much I did write a few operas, and MESSIAH along with many other Oratorios!
