Symphony No. 1
WHEN a Festival of Sir Edward Elgar 's music was organized in 1904, a persistent rumour was abroad that it would include a Symphony which had not as yet made its appearance. The world of music, however, had to wait four years longer before the eagerly-expected work was heard. It is dedicated, with the kindliness with which Sir Edward often invests his dedications, ' To Hans Richter , true artist and true friend,' and it was Richter who gave it its first performance, with the Hallo Orchestra, in 1908. It begins with a slow introduction,leading to the great first Allegro ; the second movement is a Scherzo with Trio; the third a very big Adagio, whose first theme is made of the same notes as the beginning of the Scherzo in an entirely new rhythm. The last movement also has a slow introduction before the powerful Allegro which is its main part.
