Edward Elgar (1857-1934) was one of the most prominent English composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known for his contributions to orchestral and choral music and is celebrated for his ability to capture the spirit of the Edwardian era in his compositions. Elgar's breakthrough came in 1899 when he composed his "Enigma Variations," a set of variations for orchestra that depicted the personalities of his friends. "Salut d'Amour" Op.12 is one of Elgar's most famous piano compositions. It is a short and charming piece originally written as a salon piece for violin and piano.
