All Elgar's chamber works, the Violin Sonata, the Piano Quintet, and the Quartet, were written in a Sussex village during the years 1918 and 1919, so that it is safe to assume that reaction from the horrors of the preceding years was largely responsible for their quiet but rather tragic beauty. They were first heard when the war had ceased. Each is constructed on much the same plan. There are three movements, no scherzo ; and the slow movement is in each work the jewel within the setting, a movement of great charm. Thus in the Violin Sonata it is the Romance that lingers longest in the memory. But the whole sonata is full of lovely writing.
