Romance in E minor for violin and piano Opus 1

 

The Romance in E minor for violin and piano is a work by Edward Elgar composed in 1878 or 1879 [1] and published in 1885 as his Opus 1.

The Romance was dedicated to Oswin Grainger, an older friend of Elgar's from a Worcester orchestra they played in, who was an amateur musician and grocer by trade.[2] It was published by Schott's in 1885 and the first performance was on 20 October, in Worcester.

 

Structure

Andante 12/8 E minor

Following the 4 bars of introduction by piano, violin shows the subject shown in excerpt 1.

Excerpt 1
\relative c' \new Staff \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } {
 \key e \minor \time 12/8

}

Then, the same introduction by piano induces the exposure of excerpt 2, in G minor, played by

violin.

}

The music reaches passionate climaxes twice before excerpt 1 reappears. Double stop of violin

leads the quiet end of the work.

 

It is a short work, with performing time about 5 minutes.
