Highly successful.– London performances 1743-1759. Not as successful early on.– After Handel’s death. Dramatic increase in performers.– Mozart’s arrangement.– Influence on Beethoven’s later years.– Modern performances. Preference to professional smaller-scaled performances. Large-scale performances of Messiah generally seen as old-fashioned, although they still happen. This entry was posted in Music on December 5, 2021 by .
