Answer

Dorothea was the wife of Georg Händel, the renowned German-born Baroque composer. Händel, known for masterpieces such as "Messiah" and "Water Music," married Dorothea in 1726. However, their union was not particularly harmonious, as Händel was often absent due to his extensive travels and professional commitments. Despite this, Dorothea remained a devoted companion until Händel's death in 1759.
