Gottlieb Muffat (25 April 1690 – 9 December 1770) was an Austrian organist and composer.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Infringement


It is well established that Handel borrowed copiously from his contemporaries, including Muffat. - Wikipedia


Handel, as is widely known,

Borrowed music, not his own;

And Muffat was a frequent source

That Handel used without remorse.


Did Muffat, when his works were raided,

Find that he was unpersuaded

That his works had been upgraded

When they got the treatment they did?
