Transcribed by Len Rhodes for violin, flute and piano, the ninth, and probably the most famous and best-loved variation, "Nimrod," opus 36, from his orchestral work, ENIGMA VARIATIONS - "My Friends Pictured Within".
Elgar had written a special program note, and I quote a part. "...the Variation bearing this name (Nimrod) is a record of a long summer evening talk, when my friend - A.J. Jaeger - grew nobly eloquent on the grandeur of Beethoven and especially of his slow movements. A reference to the Adagio of the Pathétique Sonata is therefore seen in the opening bars of the Nimrod Variation."
Download includes score and separate violin and flute parts.
