Elgar's unfinished Third Symphony has always aroused considerable curiosity. This is the story of that work, from its commission by the BBC at the instigation of George Bernard Shaw , to the struggle by Elgar to overcome his increasing doubts and concerns.
Specially written by David Pownall to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the composer's death, the play also includes some of the surviving musical fragments, played on violia, violin or piano.
