Characteristic

But
we

Elgar
himself
He
particularly
enjoyed
bamboozling
posterity
As
a
contemporary
of
Puccini
and
Mahler
Elgar
wrote
music
that
even
today
challenges
our
preconceptions
And
it
doesn't
feel
really
like
Elgar's
world
it
really
it's

energy
and
for
a
moment
I
have
this
absolutely
____________________
feeling
that
that
at
last
I
sort
of
knew
him
,
and
what
he
would
have
been
like
Ages
ago
when
I
was
a
kid
I
remember
an
ad
on
the
TV
that
was
for
tomato
sauce
ketchup
something
in
Venezuela
.
Our
headmaster
would
play
records
to
us
so
in
three
or
four
minute
chunks
he
played
us
the
Dream
of
Gerontius
on
Saturday
mornings
before
our
cornflakes
He
really
clicked
with
me
when
I
remember
____________________
a
____________________
performance
of
the
Enigma
Variations
in
the
Albert
Hall
I
don't
think
I
had
a
recording
at
home
but
there
was
a
recording
at
school
conducted
by
Toscanini
I
tremble
to
think
how
many
times
I've
heard
it
it's
always
____________________
Absolutely
remember
getting
to
the
climax
the
glimpse
of
God
and
of
course
that
is
such
an
____________________
moment
in
music
that's
left
an
____________________
mark
The
bottle
like
that
and
that
sauce
coming
down
,
down
,
down
,
and
when
it
was
reaching
the
food
whatever
it
was
chips
probably
Pomp
and
Circumstance
March
number
one
was
sounding
that
was
the
heroic
thing
finally
the
ketchup
got
into
the
chip
it
may
have
become
a
____________________
patriotic
tune
but
Land
of
Hope
and
Glory
began
life
without
any
words
____________________
as
the

of

____________________

Like
much
of
Elgar's
music
if
you
do
what
he
wanted
and
imagine
you've
never
heard
it
before
it's
