Elgar, Edward - Romance Opus 1 - Viola and Piano - Edited by Fine - International Music Co.
REVIEW VIDEOS
In 1878, while he was contemplating a career as a solo violinist, the twenty-one-year-old Edweard Elgar wrote this Romance. He dedicated the Schott publication (c. 1885) to his friend Oswin Grainger, a local grocer and his violin section mate in one of the amateur orchestras in Worchester, England.
Elgar wrote many pieces during the 1870s, but this Romance is the piece he chose to be his Opus 1, thus beginning a successful career as a composer. Originally set in the key of E minor, this setting for viola and piano sits a fifth lower, in the key of A minor.
