Summary of This Score
Edward Elgar's "Salut d'amour" op. 12 is one of the most endearing pieces in the English Romantic repertoire. Composed in 1888 for his future wife, Caroline Alice Roberts, this short but intensely expressive piece quickly won over musicians and audiences alike, achieving international success and inspiring numerous arrangements. For cello, its vocal character, flexible phrasing, and piano accompaniment make it an ideal choice for working on musicality, bow control, and balance with the keyboard, while offering an immediately appealing concert piece.This edition stands out for its content: although many arrangements exist, only a few autographs of the original versions have survived, including the one for cello and piano. Until now, the cello version circulated mainly through a single arrangement, probably established by the historic publisher with Elgar's approval. Here, for the first time, you will discover a version for cello and piano prepared from Elgar's autograph, inexplicably unpublished until now. To complete the work and meet interpretative habits, the volume also reproduces the well-known musical text from the first edition, allowing you to compare, choose, and refine your interpretative options.
