A tour de force for any cellist, Elgar's magnificent Cello Concerto is
performed more frequently than any other except that of Dvorák. Regarded
as an elegy for a lost world, the Cello Concerto was written after the
composer's lengthy creative stagnation during World War I. Melodic and
evocative, it exhibits a remarkable scope, ranging from tragic passion
to buoyant optimism. Cellists and other music lovers will delight in
this full score of Elgar's last major work, reproduced from an
authoritative source.
