Synthesized answer
Based solely on the provided passages, I cannot describe a step-by-step process to locate an entry for "Handel" or "Water Music" because the passages do not contain a full alphabetical index or list of entries for the letter "H." The passages show the dictionary is organized alphabetically by volume, with Volume 1 covering "A to IMPROMPTU" [1], Volume 2 covering "IMPROPERIA to PLAIN SONG" [1], Volume 3 covering "PLANCHÉ to SUMER IS ICUMEN IN" [1], and Volume 4 covering "SUMER IS ICUMEN IN to ZWISCHENSPIEL" [1]. The sample pages show ranges like "A to Air" [1], "Airy to Andreoni" [2], and "Fux to Giusquino" [2], confirming strict alphabetical order.
To find "Handel," I would assume the dictionary follows standard alphabetical order, so "Handel" would fall between "H" entries. Since "H" is not covered in the provided passages (Volume 1 ends at "IMPROMPTU" and Volume 2 starts at "IMPROPERIA"), I cannot determine which volume contains "H." I would need to consult the full table of contents or index to find the correct volume. Similarly, "Water Music" would be under "W," which would likely be in Volume 4 (covering "SUMER IS ICUMEN IN to ZWISCHENSPIEL") [1], but no specific "W" entries…
