Elgar's Variations for Orchestra, commonly known as the 'Enigma' Variations, marked an epoch both in his career, and in the renaissance of English music at the turn of the century. First performed in 1899 under Hans Richter, the work became his passport to national fame and international success. From the first it intrigued listeners to know why it was called 'enigma', and who were the 'friends pictured within', to whom the work is dedicated. Appearing in the centenary year of the work's composition, this book elucidates what is known, and what has been said about the work and the enigma, and directs future listeners to what matters most: the inspired qualities of the music.

Elgar: Variations and Enigmas Musician Rodney Baldwyn made an interesting observation in 1989 while looking through his copy of Elgars memorial service. The service in March 1934 had been arranged by Ivor Atkins to whom, late in life, Elgar had disclosed his feelings about his first fiance, Worcester-born Helen Weaver. Atkins chose three Enigma Variations for the London Symphony Orchestra to play at the service: Variation I, dedicated to CAE (Alice) and to whom Elgar had been devoted for over thirty years; Variation IX evoked Nimrod (August Jaeger), whom Elgar described as my dearest and truest friend; Variation XIII was dedicated to ***. To most people, the first two Variations might seem obvious choices, being two people to whom Elgar was very close for many years, but only Atkins knew the truth behind his third choice. He believed that the unnamed, and therefore mysterious, Enigma XIII was in memory of Helen Weaver. Elgar: Variations and Enigmas examines why Elgars engagement to Helen ended and why she left Worcester. It investigates Helens enigmatic friend from Bradford, Annie Groveham. Annie stayed with Elgar and Helen at the Hotel Sedan in Leipzig in 1883 and, nearly fifty years later, following a rather tangled life, she re-entered Elgars life. This book reveals new information about Helen Weaver as a musician and includes previously unpublished photographs of her family. The sad tale is also related of one more enigmatic person in Elgars life: his brother-in-law Stanley Napier Roberts, whose personal misfortunes, particularly in the carefree hands of actress Lady Gipsy Rodgers, are notable and readable.

Edward Elgar occupies a pivotal place in the British cultural imagination. His music has been heard as emblematic of Empire and the English landscape. The recent success of Anthony Payne's elaboration of the sketches for Elgar's Third Symphony has prompted a critical revaluation of his music. This Companion provides an accessible and vivid account of Elgar's work in its historical and cultural context. Established authorities on British music and scholars new in the field examine Elgar's music from a range of critical perspectives, including nationalism, post-colonialism, decadence, reception and musical influences. There are also chapters on interpretation, including his own (Elgar was the first major composer to commit a representative quantity of his own work to record), and on Elgar's relationships with the BBC and with his publishers. The book includes much new material, drawing on original research, as well as providing a comprehensive introduction to Elgar's major musical achievements.

Considers Boult's interpretations of Elgar's major works by drawing on their correspondence, Boult's annotated scores, broadcast performances, commercial recordings and press reviews, ranging from the composer's lifetime to Boult's final public appearances. Edward Elgar (1857-1934) and Adrian Boult (1889-1983) first met in 1904 and they saw each other frequently over the next thirty years. This book documents how Boult's Elgar interpretations evolved and the ways in which Boult drew on his experience of Elgar's own performances as well as their personal contacts. It provides fascinating biographical context, with a particular focus on the role played by the charismatic music patron Frank Schuster. A misunderstanding led to Elgar and Boult falling out in 1924 and it was not until 1931 that Elgar sought to restore their friendship. The book considers Boult's interpretations of Elgar's major works, drawing on a variety of sources including Boult's annotated scores as well as his broadcasts and commercial recordings of Elgar's music, ranging from those made in the composer's last years to Boult's final public appearances in 1978. The view of contemporary critics provides further evidence. All the works with which Boult was closely associated are considered in detail: the two symphonies, The Dream of Gerontius, The Kingdom and The Apostles and orchestral works including the Enigma Variations, Falstaff and the Violin and Cello Concertos. The text is complemented by appendices including a chronology of performances and a discography. These provide invaluable information for anyone interested in this fascinating composer-conductor relationship, and in Boult's advocacy of Elgar's music throughout his long career.

Justin and Ashna come up against a mystery steeped in arcane lore lurking behind what they thought was a simple case of theft and a shadowy foe who seems to be a step ahead of them at every turn.
