RISM S3680 and SS3680 (2 copies in the U.S., at NYPL Lincoln Center and the Library of Congress). Smith, an English composer of German birth, was the son of Johann Christoph Schmidt (John Christopher Smith Sr., d. 1763), Handel's first copyist in London; the younger Smith became Handel's secretary, musical assistant, and amanuensis in Handel's later years when blindness hampered the great composer's writing and conducting activities. "Smith, according to Burney, was a 'studious and cultivated man, and much esteemed by many of the first people in the kingdom.' " Barbara Small in Grove Music Online Smith's harpsichord suites, replete with fashionable galant melodies, ornaments, and syncopation as well as athletic effects like hand-crossing and rapid exchanges of the hands, were clearly influenced by Handel, Rameau, and Domenico Scarlatti. He succeeds at creating imaginative and original keyboard works, with his influences serving as a jumping off point. This is the first publication we have seen with Handel as a subscriber. Elegantly printed.
