专辑简介

The Elgar Edition, Vol.1 is a part of a 43-volume uniform edition covering the whole of Elgar’s musical output. This edition is intended for both scholarly and practical use, with each volume being edited to the highest academic standard using the widest possible range of source material. It represents as far as possible Elgar’s final thoughts on the works covered by the volume. Each volume contains a description of each of the known sources for the work and a critical commentary listing those editorial changes made which cannot be clearly represented in the score. Sketches and drafts of works unfinished by Elgar, together with significant rejected passages from completed works, are presented in appendices.
