| | Elgar, Edward (1857 - 1934) |
| | Elgar wrote a number of pieces for violin and piano during the earlier part of his life. | | | Elgar's Cello Concerto, written in 1919, enjoys great popularity, not yet matched by that of the earlier Violin Concerto, composed before the war. | | | The Enigma Variations, with its portraits in each variation of one of the composer's friends and its unsolved musical puzzle, in the well known melody that Elgar claimed would go with the theme itself, is one of the best of his works. |

| | Elgar wrote a number of pieces for violin and piano during the earlier part of his life. | | | The concert overture Cockaigne is an evocation of London, while the "Elegy", the Introduction and Allegro 2 and the "Serenade", all for string orchestra, offer music of the highest quality. | | | Of much greater weight are the three chamber works of 1918, the Violin Sonata in E minor, String Quartet in the same key and Piano Quintet in A minor. |

| | Premiere of the Elgar Cello Concerto |
| | It was so in his violin concerto; it is so in this. | | | Though it is sparkling and graceful, it approximates to the type of a "Moto Perpetuo." However, the lyrical adagio which follows is pure "Elgar," and the finale (allegro non troppo) is the best and most strongly designed movement in the work, binding the whole thing together. | | | The most that can be done after a single hearing is to record the salient impressions received. |

| | Elgar Third |
| | This reconstruction craze was validated by Deryck Cooke's completions (I and II) of Mahler's sketches for a Tenth Symphony, which followed by 15 years Tibor Serly's completion of Bartók's Third Piano Concerto (a matter of only 17 bars) and his virtual composition from sketches of a Viola/Cello Concerto commissioned by William Primrose. | | | If the end result will not remind you of the First or Second Symphonies, created at the peak of Elgar's powers, enough of it "sounds like Elgar" to make us sad that the elderly Edwardian hadn't juice enough left in him to leave some kind of completion, if only a piano sketch of the whole. | | | ELGAR: The sketches for Symphony No. 3, elaborated by Anthony Payne. |

| | April 20, 1997 - Andrews University Orchestra Concert |
| | Inspired by the English countryside and the continental musical achievements of the 19th century, Sir Edward Elgar's (1857-1934) compositions hold a special place in the history of British music providing a proud culmination to his era. | | | Having written numerous pieces of Patriotic themes before and during the war, he now turned to several pieces of chamber music and a piece for cello and orchestra. | | | Unfortunately Coates took most of the rehearsal time allotted to Elgar causing a most unsatisfactory premiere of the concerto and a London critic to write that the orchestra "made a lamentable public exhibition of itself." Nevertheless, succeeding performances and numerous recordings have firmly established the work's well deserved place in the cello repertoire. |
