... “Despondent about himself, he was full of hope for others, and spent himself in smoothing their path to fame.” -Englishman, Sir Edward Elgar on his closest friend, German, August Jaeger // I have been wanting to share about what inspired one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written (“Nimrod” Variation) for a while now. It’s a story behind the David-and-Jonathan-like friendship between composer, Edward Elgar, and publisher, August Jaeger. It’s a moving story... one which I recently heard while attending a performance of Elgar’s music by the Elgin Symphony Orchestra at the Hemmens Cultural Center in Elgin, Illinois. Here is a quote from an article that can explain it better than I could... “Elgar confided... that this variation is not about Jaeger as much as [it is about] a conversation with him. One day Elgar was very frustrated and considered giving up composing. [During a walk together in the English countryside,] Jaeger stepped in and compared Elgar’s struggles to those of Beethoven. He asked the composer how he thought Beethoven must have felt, having to compose while going deaf. Jaeger then told Elgar that as Beethoven’s hearing got worse, his music became more beautiful, and encouraged Elgar to take that lesson to heart. Jaeger then sang the slow movement to Beethoven’s ‘Pathetique’ Sonata for his depressed friend. Elgar [once admitted] that the opening of ‘Nimrod’ suggests the ‘Pathetique.’ He said, ‘Can’t you hear it at the beginning? Only a hint, not a quotation.’“ I linked to the full article in my profile, because it gives a broader explanation of the full work (Enigma Variations)... a very impressive work. I loved this specific story and cried when I heard it. There is no greater gift than the gift of empathy and encouragement from someone when you are feeling discouraged. Of this, I am certain. Please check out this piece if you don’t know it already. It’s absolutely moving and beautiful. See my IG story for the recording I suggest listening to. . . #musicalnotes #classicalmusic #elgar #augustjaeger #myfavoritemusic #encouragement #kindness #beauty #friendship #love #countryside #naturelandscape #skyworewhat
