Edward Elgar's cello concerto, his final significant piece, is a well-organized and deeply expressive work. It is not surprising that this piece holds crucial significance in the cello repertoire. Jonathan Del Mar's editorial abilities are evident in the precise positioning of dynamics, articulation, and expression markings.
A collection of Elgar's most popular works, arranged for solo piano by Desmond Ratcliffe. Includes Chanson De Nuit, Theme from Enigma Variations and Adagio from the Cello Concerto.
Edward Elgar's "Salut d'amour" is renowned for its hauntingly beautiful melody. Composed in 1888 as a gift for his future wife, Caroline Alice Roberts, the piece became an immense success. While numerous arrangements exist, the only versions with surviving autograph manuscripts are for violin and piano (HN 1188), piano solo (HN 1190), and cello and piano. Until now, the cello part has only been available in an arrangement made by the original publisher, presumably with Elgar's approval. This new edition presents, for the first time, the version directly from Elgar's autograph manuscript, which has inexplicably never been published before. Additionally, we are publishing the reliable musical text from the first edition.
Elgar's Serenade for Strings, composed in 1892, marks the first occasion on which the 35-year-old composer expressed genuine satisfaction with his work. The question of whether it is derived from three string pieces created in 1888 remains unresolved, as only their titles—“Spring Song,” “Elegy,” and “Finale”—have been preserved. Notably, these titles align remarkably well with the movements of the Serenade. Elgar's favorable evaluation has endured through the years; the Serenade, Op. 20, is not only one of his most cherished compositions but also ranks among the most frequently performed pieces in the string orchestra repertoire. This classic has been edited by British Elgar expert Rupert Marshall-Luck and is now available in Henle Urtext as a conducting score, performance material, and a convenient study edition.
Elgar had the idea of writing his Nursery Suite for orchestra after the birth in 1930 of Princess Margaretand he dedicated it to her, her elder sister, and their mother-later the Queen and The Queen Mother
