He (George Frideric Handel) didn’t compose these for piano solo. Vocal scores of the coronation anthems have been around for some time (there’s a good one by Clifford Bartlett published by Oxford University Press), which have a full piano reduction of the orchestral music; the orchestral full score on IMSLP (Chrysander’s) has a keyboard reduction or realisation of the continuo part, but a lot of page turns would be necessary to play from it. As for the Water Music, there’s quite a number of arrangements though the only one for piano solo currently on IMSLP consists of no more than the Overture to the first suite in F.

Sorry we don’t have the particular arrangements you want.

Thanks guys, most especially CHOUL, thanks to you I've found what I've been looking for, for months! I got two arrangements of water music for piano, the one you told me about and another arranged by Arthur Campbell. Thanks to you too Philip(PML), the link and information you gave was quite helpful.
