In October of 1898, Edward Elgar returned home after a long day of teaching, at dinner, then sat down at the piano to doodle on the keys. Elgar described what followed: In a little while, soothed and feeling rested, I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: 'Edward, that's a good tune.' I awoke from the dream. 'Eh! Tune, what tune!' And she said, 'Play it again, I like that tune.' I played and strummed, and played, then she exclaimed: 'That's the tune.' The voice of [my wife] asked with a sound of approval, 'What is that?' I answered, 'Nothing - but something might be made of it.'" This tune is what became the theme to one of the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire, VARIATIONS ON AN ORIGINAL THEME or the ENIGMA VARIATIONS. Elgar called the variations "Enigma," not to be thought of as a riddle so much as a "dark saying [that] must be left unguessed.," though he also hinted that a hidden melody is also embedded within the music. Each of the fourteen variations functions as a musical caricature of a specific friend, starting with his wife Alice ("C.A.E."), and ending with himself ("E.D.U."). The middle variations refer to: II. "H.D.SP." (Hew David Steuart-Powell), III. "R.B.T." (Richard Baxter Townshend), IV. "W.M.B." (William Meath Baker), V. "R.P.A." (Richard Penrose Arnold), VI. "Ysobel" (Isabel Fitton), VII. "Troyte" (Arthur Troyte Griffith), VIII. "W.N." (Winifred Norbury), IX. "Nimrod" (Augustus J. Jaeger), X. "Dorabella" (Dora Penny), XI. "G.R.S." (George Robertson Sinclair), XII. B.G.N." (Basil George Nevinson), XIII."***" (possibly Lady Mary Lygon of Madresfield). The work premiered in 1899 at St. James Hall in London, conducted by Hans Richter, and achieved immediate popularity, establishing Elgar's international reputation. Elgar did quickly revise the final variation, adding 96 new bars of music and an organ part, which is how the work is usually performed today. Instrumentation in set: 2(2dPicc).2.2.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(2"
In this book the Classical Music Collection presents the sheet music for 'Enigma' Variations - Op.37 By Edward Elgar. Comprising of 15 pieces. A fantastic edition to the repertoire of anyone interested in Elgar's Musical compositions.
Dedicated to "my friends pictured within," Elgar's orchestral showpiece started life as a simple improvisation at the piano after a day of teaching violin in October of 1898. Upon playing the theme, his wife Alice asked that he repeat it. This led him to improvise variations on the melody - each variation a musical portrait of one of their friends. Elgar ultimately expanded this into a full-length compositon, including music portraits of Alice and himself before orchestrating it. The premiere was given on June 19, 1899 in London's St. James's Hall under the baton of Hans Richter. The work was popular immediately and has been part of the orchestral canon ever since. This new score is a digitally-restored reissue of the one first published in 1899 by Novello. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable.
