Summary of This Score

Edward Elgar (1857-1934), a major figure in British music and one of the last great Romantics, is renowned for the boldness of his inspiration, the power of his orchestral colors, and a very personal sense of construction. This collection brings together his two symphonies, often considered the culmination of his instrumental writing. Symphony No. 1 in B-flat major (Op. 55) opens with a majestic, immediately striking impulse and enjoyed spectacular success from its premiere, with more than 100 performances in its first year. Complementing it, Symphony No. 2 in E-flat major (Op. 63) pushes even further the clarity of discourse and expressive frankness, in a dense emotional journey the composer himself described as "the passionate pilgrimage of the soul." United here in a practical and high-quality edition, these two scores provide a solid resource for conductors, conservatory students, composers in training, and all those wishing to work on large symphonic form, balance of sections, and orchestral dramaturgy. This publication is a reprint of two works originally published separately in London by Novello and Company, Limited, in 1908 and 1911.
