73616C0D41DA-7D9F-4F08-9E7D-B5FE938996F2A143502Enigma Variations: Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36In October of 1898, Edward Elgar returned home after a long day of teaching, ate dinner, then sat down at the piano to doodle on the keys. Elgar described what followed:

“In a little while, soothed and feeling rested, I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: ‘Edward, that’s a good tune.’ I awoke from the dream. ‘Eh! Tune, what tune!’ And she said, ‘Play it again, I like that tune.’ I played and strummed, and played, then she exclaimed: ‘That’s the tune.’ The voice of [my wife] asked with a sound of approval, ‘What is that?’ I answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it.’”

This tune is what became the theme to one of the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire, VARIATIONS ON AN ORIGINAL THEME or the ENIGMNA VARIATIONS. Elgar called the variations "Enigma," not to be thought of as a riddle so much as a "dark saying [that] must be left unguessed.," though he also hinted that a hidden melody is also embedded within the music. Each of the fourteen variations functions as a musical caricature of a specific friend, starting with his wife Alice ("C.A.E."), and ending with himself ("E.D.U."). The middle variations refer to: II. "H.D.SP." (Hew David Steuart-Powell), III. "R.B.T." (Richard Baxter Townshend), IV. "W.M.B." (William Meath Baker), V. "R.P.A." (Richard Penrose Arnold), VI. "Ysobel" (Isabel Fitton), VII. "Troyte" (Arthur Troyte Griffith), VIII. "W.N." (Winifred Norbury), IX. "Nimrod" (Augustus J. Jaeger), X. "Dorabella" (Dora Penny), XI. "G.R.S." (George Robertson Sinclair), XII. "B.G.N." (Basil George Nevinson), XIII. "***" (possibly Lady Mary Lygon of Madresfield). The work premiered in 1899 at St. James Hall in London, conducted by Hans Richter, and acheived immediate popularity, establishing Elgar's international reputation. Elgar did quickly revise the final variation, adding 96 new bars of music and an organ part, which is how the work is usually performed today.

73666C1B656B-2A9B-4A60-80CD-D36E8F9A674BSU569White Water: On the HousatonicThe Housatonic River in Conneticut is an exciting roller coaster ride that displays both the power and beauty of the river. The composer attended the Tanglewood summer music program and kayaked down the river, riding both fast and slow currents created by the hydro-electric dam water release. Anyone who has experienced the ebb and flow of a river and the calm eddies will recognize these elements in "White Water on the Housatonic". Players will hear the power of the currents and the pounding waves, and they will appreciate what it is all about.6 mix

Born into a wealthy Dutch family, the diplomat and composer founded a Collegium musicum in The Hague under the oversight of Ricciotti. Composed between 1725 and 1740, the six concertos have been falsely attributed to a variety of contemporaries, Ricciotti and Pergolesi amongst them, since its anonymous publication. Wassenauer's aristocratic background was the reason for his secretiveness. The sentiment of the time ordained that musicians belong to the lower classes. This edition of CONCERTINO No. 2 (also CONCERTO ARMONICO in G Major, CONCERTO IV, or just CONCERTINO in G), drawing from the CONCERTO ARMONICO in G Major, was edited by 20th century Baroque expert Fritz Rikko. Rikko spuriously attributes the work to Pergolesi. Despite Wassenauer's authorship having since been confirmed, Rikko's original editorial notes have been retained.

Although it remained unperformed for the first few years after its completion in late 1885, it did finally receive its premiere in 1889, with the New York Philharmonic under Theodore Thomas, and the composer at the piano. Although many of MacDowell's smaller works continue to be performed regularly, MacDowell's PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2 is the only large-scale composition to remain in standard repertoire. This piano reduction, written for two pianos with four hands, is in performance score format, so individual copies are needed for each performer.2 Pianos, 4 Hands
73736C468C32-8BAB-41AF-8ACE-4CFFC233BE14ST976Consolations 2-5This arrangement of Franz Liszt's Consolations II-V is for flute and piano. These pieces are superficially simple to execute. However, they show a depth of interpretive skill and ensemble which few 19th-century works offer us; a Romantic sense of rubato, sostenuto and the varied use of colors and vibrato are essential to a successful performance of the 'Consolations.'Flute
