Edward Elgar - String Quartet Op.83 - Study Score - String Quartet

Sir Edward Elgar was born in Worcester in 1857. Until the outstanding success of the 'Enigma' Variations in 1899 he was considered a 'provincial' composer - and a largely self taught one at that.In the earlier part of Elgar's career as a composer he wrote several short pieces which became very popular indeed. Chanson de nuit is one such the second of a pair (Chanson de Matin the other being) which carried his name far and wide before his larger orchestra works appeared. It was published in several versions at once: for string orchestra for small orchestra for violin and piano and so on - so it is almost impossible to say with any degree of certainty which was theoriginal version. This arrangement makes a useful addition to the repertoire for string quartet.

A quartet in three movements for two violins viola and cello:1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto.

Elgar délicieuse Salut d'Amour, un de ses premiers succès, en 1889, lors d'Elgar avait tout juste 30 ans: cela s'est avéré être une année de grand bonheur pour lui, car à cette époque, il épousa Caroline Alice Roberts - une dame qui a été pour signifier tant de choses à lui en tant qu'homme et musicien. Il n'est pas trop fantaisiste pour entendre, dans cette pièce charmante, une manifestation musicale de son amour pour elle. / Quatuor A Cordes / niveau : Elémentaire / Partition
