Misc. Notes	This is an arrangement of ’The Musick for the Royal Fireworks’ by Georg Friedrich Händel for piano and the Händel-orchestra, in fact I have made a pianoconcerto of it. The orchestral part of Händel is unchanged but often cut into pieces to let the piano play. I also leave Händel for what it is and add own music, inspired by Händel.
