The Variations on an Original Theme, or ’Enigma’ as it is commonly known, brought Elgar overnight fame when it appeared in 1899. The music is glorious from start to finish, especially in the serene Nimrod. Each variation is given a cryptic title referring to one of Elgar’s friends although the overall enigma behind the original theme has never been deciphered.

The Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299/297c, is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for flute, harp, and orchestra. It is one of only two true double concertos that he wrote, as well as the only piece of music by Mozart that contains the harp.

The piece is one of the most popular such concerti in the repertoire, as well as often being found on recordings dedicated otherwise to either one of its featured instruments.

II. Andantino

The short phrases in this movement are introduced by the strings, and become lyrically extended. This further develops into variations on the theme. The cadenza in this movement leads to a coda, where the orchestra and soli focus on the lyrical theme.

07 Concerto in A Major for Clarinet and Orchestra, K. 622  II. Adagio

Performer: Christopher Morgan Loy

These preludes are dedicated to one in whom I have found the most comfort in my life; my loving wife Melissa. The melodies were inspired by birdsong. I wrote them at my piano in a breakfast nook with three windows overlooking a small yard. In the yard were trees on which the birds would perch and sing their songs. On several occasions my playing became a sort of call and response. I would play a motif, stop to write it down, and in my pause I would hear it again in the voice of a bird outside. Melissa found that so amusing that she used to stop me from writing and insist that I keep playing with the birds. She thought the birds loved my music, but it is the music of the birds to which I owe my gratitude.
