Scene from the movie in which Handel is invited to take part in a competition with the famous composer Domenico Scarlatti. They both along with Bach were born in the same year of 1685. The scene is based on a real event when both composers were aged 23, both being judged equal on the Harpsichord while Handel adjudged the winner on the Organ. Both had enormous mutual respect for each other and it is said that Scarlatti, later in life, was known to cross himself in veneration when speaking of Handel's skill

  • Rather hard to believe Handel would beat Scarlatti. If so, his written music must have been far below what he could accomplish on the keyboard.

  • Is the one with moustache Handel?

  • @MrEbaby2010 i dont think so :P

  • Lovely playing and stuff. But a contest is one player duplicating what the other guy just played? Seems a bit silly. Then again, the movies love to depict classical musicians as wackadoodles and eccentrics.

  • OMG I've been looking for this scene for ages!!!! Thank you thank you!! The Two Masters in One ROOM!

  • @borghese84 The name of the movie is "God Rot Tunbridge Wells!"
