If he is from Prussia, which is in Germany, then why say Prussia? Yes, Prussians have a name which IS called Prussians but what is the point and difference if he still is German? If he is Baltic-Prussian or Old Prussian, then why not say German? It makes more sense. 2407:7000:8E29:5600:0:0:0:1004 (talk) 01:20, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
I was reading this article but I think the dates are not correct.
Handel was born and married and Anna died. Anna died before Handel was born?
Thank you.
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Anna was the first wife of Georg Händel, father of George Frideric Handel. George Frideric was born to Georg's second wife. I hope that clears up your confusion (I agree that the article is a bit confusing). Day Creature (talk) 21:58, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
