Elgar: The Man

Michael De-la-Noy

4.9/5 (18271 ratings)

Description:Elgar deliberately made a mystery of his private life, so that only his most perceptive friends ever really knew Elgar the Man. Born in 1857, the son of a piano-tuner and a farmer's daughter, Elgar spent his first forty years showing little sign that life had anything more to offer than his job as bandmaster in the Worcester Lunatic Asylum and a niche in the provincial music circuit. Then, in 1899, the success of his Enigma Variations made him a national celebrity. He crammed his whole life's work into the next twenty years, ending in 1919 with his Cello Concerto. He had fifteen years left to live, years spent in bitter disillusionment in which he felt his life had been a failure. In this penetrating and moving biography Michael De-la-Noy reveals for the first time the depth and complexity of a man whom, he believes, struggled against exceptional emotional difficulties to produce some of the finest music ever written.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
