Elgar: Enigma Variations

Elgar told us all about how the inspiration for his first great
success: “I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by
saying: “Edward, that’s a good tune!... ‘What is that?’ I
answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it."
This little improvisation turned into one of Elgar’s 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!
