Details:
The London violinist, harpsichordist, and composer William Babell received his initial musical training from his father, who was a bassoonist at the royal Drury Lane Theatre

Babell composed sonatas for violin and flute with basso continuo, and specialized in arrangements for keyboard instruments of arias from well-known operas of the time. With these, he earned a reputation throughout Europe. Johann Mattheson, Handel’s boyhood friend, opined that Babell had surpassed Handel as an organ virtuoso. Even the music historian Sir John Hawkins admired Babell’s virtuosity; he ascertained that Babell’s works could be adequately played by only a very few artists other than the composer himself. Babell’s transcriptions of arias from Handel’s opera Rinaldo were considered by Handel to be the standard for his virtuoso harpsichord playing – Babell made them from memory, based on Handel’s own improvisations in performances
