  • Elgar !!!! at the end you'll listen to a fragment of "Pump and Circumstances" March.

    

  • Genius

  • @ Ltlevim, I thought the same initially until a saw picture of Edvard Grieg. GG actually does bear a certain resemblance to Edvard Grieg. Background is that Edvard Grieg was a first cousin of Gould's mother's grandfather (please google it!).

  • I think he's trying to imitate Edward Elgar, especially because of the Pomp and Circumstance march at the end.

  • What a fantastic orchestra! It consists of... what looks like RCA victor dog?

  • Great !
