Elgar

Excerpt from Elgar
The great bulk of Elgar's early work is slight in quality until we come to the cantata The Black Knight (Op. 25).Of the first twenty-four opus numbers, two alone are of prime significance in the record of his music - the Serenade for Strings (Op. 20), and the Froissart overture (Op. 19).The former will be considered later on in the present chapter; the latter, as the beginning of the series of large instrumental works that includes the Enigma Variations and the Cockaigne and In the South overtures, will find its natural place in Chapter V.
