Me too, can just see her playing around in the yard.

There's a wistfulness in this, of fond memories of things now gone or going away, of friends you suddenly realize you lost thru no fault but time. It's an Indian summer kind of piece, and it's nice to think Elgar wrote it about a friendly little dog he had.

Fantastic, I heard this some 25 yrs ago in my first year at college and this beautiful and sublime tune has happily remained with me. Its wonderful to hear it again. Thank you for posting it with such an interesting video.....You have made me very happy indeed.

I love hearing Mina's waggy tail!

Funnily enough, I actually prefer this slower "elegiac" version of Mina to the historic version as recorded by Sir Edward himself- which is played in a completely different way: much faster and with less nostalgia.

@Kev3542 At 1'28" Max Morrow should of course be Max Mossel; and the most important 'person' in the picture, who deserves a mention, is of course Dan, Sinclair's bulldog, the subject of 'GRS' in the Enigma Variations.

Delightful video - beautifully presented. Thank you!

"Mina" is one of my favourite Elgar compositions too.
Lovely, light and and delicate
Thanks for offering it.

A year on, I often return to this delightful video, which deserves far more hits than it receives. Overall, the Youtube community does not really do Elgar proud, I am afraid!

Thank you very much indeed. I suppose you're right in saying that there aren't a huge amount of Elgar related videos on Youtube, although one of my favourites is the "Edward Elgar Footage" video posted by nankipoo.

Oh my goodness. This song is so beautiful I just listened to it four times.

I know what you mean. It's one of my favourite pieces by Elgar and I can never understand why it's not as famous as "Nimrod" or "Pomp & Circ." BY the way, Mina was the name of his Cairn terrier.
