9:00 the one in c minor shows an absolutely maestry in how he intensifies the variated recapitulation. He masters the simple moments, but also know how to put a sauce in the codas and other sweet spots, for example in the following movement , where he combines themes a and b in counterpoint. These details and the effortless melodies are proper of the masters. It confirms to me that this is great score to study romantism, and Michael Giachinno certainly had this in mind while composing MEdal of Honor, i guess so.I did underestimate Elgar in this one, but honestly just know this piece well. I knew his Cello concerto vaguely. I heard him maybe to much in student concertos at the university
this. is a very nice repertoire to study big scores and focus on basics aspects of them, really entertaining. Similar to J. Strauss with his Waltzes. It would he nice to know how fast Elgar scored this. I imagined he was not happy in taking a long time with festive music….
