Elgar and the Bulldog Dan

Third Programme
on Third Programme

by Sir Jack Westrup, Heather Professor of Music in the University of Oxford
It is well known that No. 11 of the Enigma Variations, G.R.S., was inspired by G. R. Sinclair's bulldog.
Elgar wrote various themes inspired by or dedicated to Dan, and Sir Jack Westrup relates these to their sometimes surprising contexts in his compositions.
