Elgar: Enigma Variations
Elgar told us all about how the inspiration for his first great success: \u201cI began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: \u201cEdward, that\u2019s a good tune!... \u2018What is that?\u2019 I answered, \u2018Nothing \u2013 but something might be made of it."
This little improvisation turned into one of Elgar\u2019s greatest pieces, a piece that made him a legend. This week we'll explore this hymn to good humor, joy, and profound friendship. We'll also explore why this piece is called "Enigma." Join us to dive right in!
