Who employed george Frederick handel?

Answer 1

Handel was employed by several people. He worked as an organist when he was 17, taught private violin lessons by the time he was 18, worked for the Elector of Hanover in Germany when he was 27, and while still working for him, left Germany never to come back and accepted a job from Queen Anne of England. Much to his embarrassment, when Queen Anne died two years later, The Elector of Hanover became king. This is when Handel wrote his 'Water Music' to please the new king of England, which was then Great Britain, the German Elector of Hanover.
