Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Elgar Variations and Enigmas written by Cora Weaver and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 This book reveals new information about Helen Weaver as a musician and includes previously unpublished photographs of her family.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.

Download or read book While Listening to the Enigma Variations written by Diane Frank and published by . This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this new and startling collection, Diane Frank's poems transcend not just genres but entire dimensions. When she speaks to J.S. Bach, she really means it and when Bach speaks back, she listens - entirely - the way certain moths perceive sound via their whole body, even their wings. How is this accomplished? It will seem to come through the poems themselves - their music, tonal qualities and subjects, yet it goes even deeper as it pushes up like duende through the soles of your feet. The voice is declarative, emphatic, spirit driven. She will tell you, 'When a buffalo enters your dream, / listen for arpeggio hooves, / the weight of music, / a copper moon / above a vanishing prairie' and you will, you must listen." Lois P. Jones, author of Night Ladder Radio Host, KPFK's Poets Café
