Edward William Elgar (1857-1934)

Movs. VI and VI from "Enigma Variations", Op. 36

Variations on an Original Theme for orchestra, Op. 36 ("Enigma"), commonly referred to as the "Enigma Variations", is a set of a theme and its fourteen variations written for orchestra by Edward Elgar in 1898--99. It is Elgar's best-known large-scale composition, for both the music itself and the enigmas behind it. Elgar dedicated the piece to "my friends pictured within", each variation being an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances.

Movement VI: R.P.A. (Moderato)
----------------
Richard Penrose Arnold, the son of the poet Matthew Arnold, and himself an amateur pianist. This variation leads into the next without pause.

Movement VII: Ysobel (Andantino)
----------------
Isabel Fitton, a viola pupil of Elgar. The melody of this variation is played by the viola.
