Ellet is a collection of narratives centered around prominent musicians, written in the mid-19th century. This work illustrates real incidents and conversations in the lives of great composers like Handel, Haydn, and Mozart, revealing insights into their characters, struggles, and the cultural context of their time. Each story not only seeks to entertain but also aims to impart valuable knowledge about classical music and its relationship to personal virtue and vice. The opening of the book introduces us to Handel in a London tavern in the year 1741, where he is engaged in a discussion with John Farren, the tavern owner, and others about the challenges and triumphs of the musical life. There is tension between Farren and his wife over their daughter Ellen's affection for a poor musician, Joseph, while Handel advocates for Joseph, believing in his talent. The narrative captures the dynamic of artistic ambition and societal challenges, including Handel's own struggles for patronage amidst a backdrop of personal relationships and moral undertones. This sets the stage for further exploration of the characters' lives and the ongoing influence of music in shaping both personal destinies and public admiration.
