THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies
Synopsis Bach and Handel, two giants of classical music, were born in the same year in Germany; however, they did not get to meet personally. Bach always remained in his country, where he had twenty children. Handel, on the other hand, made his fame and fortune in England, without ever marrying. Both lived long and prolific lives, tied by a common ending: blindness, caused by the clumsy intervention of the same apprentice eye surgeon. Through a medical-biographical assessment of the lives of these composers, the answers to various questions about genius and creativity are revealed.
