Oorspronklik

Enigma Variations. Opus 36. Composed by Edward Elgar. 1857-1934. Arranged by Douglas McLain. For Concert Band. Grade 6. Full score. Duration 20. 00. Published by Baton Music. BF.BM434-SCORE. 'Variations on an Original Theme for orchestra'. Enigma. , Op. 36, commonly referred to as the Enigma Variations, is a set of a theme and its fourteen variations written for orchestra by Edward Elgar in 1898-1899. It is Elgar's best-known large-scale composition, for both the music itself and the enigmas behind it. Elgar dedicated the piece to 'my friends pictured within', each variation being an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances. After its 1899 London premiere, the piece achieved popularity and was given international performances. The people portrayed in the variations include his wife Alice, Augustus J. Jaeger and Elgar himself. It has been arranged for various instruments. The enigma is not the identity of the persons portrayed, as those are known, but rather a hidden theme that is, in Elgar's words, 'not played'. This hidden theme has been the subject of much speculation, and various musicians have proposed theories for what melody it could be, although Elgar did not say that it was a melody. The enigma could be something else, such as a symbol or a literary theme.

BF.BM434-telling. 'Variasies op 'n oorspronklike tema vir orkes'. Enigma. , Op. . Dit is Elgar se bekendste grootskaalse komposisie, vir beide die musiek self en die raaisels agter dit. Elgar toegewy om die stuk te 'my vriende uitgebeeld in', elke variasie om 'n liefdevolle uitbeelding van een van sy kring van naby kennisse. Na sy 1899 Londen première, die stuk behaal gewildheid en gegee internasionale optredes. Die mense uitgebeeld in die variasies sluit sy vrou Alice, Augustus J. Jaeger en Elgar homself. Dit is gereël vir verskeie instrumente. Die raaisel is nie die identiteit van die persone uitgebeeld het, soos die is bekend, maar eerder 'n verskuilde tema wat in Elgar se woorde 'nie gespeel'. Hierdie verborge tema is die onderwerp van 'n baie spekulasie, en verskeie musikante het teorieë voorgestel vir wat melodie dit kon wees, hoewel Elgar het nie gesê dat dit was 'n melodie. Die raaisel kan iets anders wees, soos 'n simbool of 'n literêre tema.
