I’m currently working on Handel/Grandjany’s “Prelude and Toccata” for solo harp, and I wondered if anyone knows if there are any youtube videos or recordings with Handel’s original piece/instrumentation. I think I figured out that the Prelude was composed for keyboard and is part of a suite, but it’s not so easy to find anything about the Toccata. Any insights will be helpful!

The transcription is Prelude and Toccata, HWV 568, 475; Saraband (HWV 455). If you look at a web site of Handel’s music, it says that these pieces were written for keyboard.
