And we hear other dance-inspired works by Chopin, including fine mazurkas and polonaises.

Exploring Music with Adrian Boynton: EDWARD ELGAR
The resurgence of English music at the end of the 19th century owes much to the towering figure of Edward Elgar. We explore some of the fine music of his early years, including the Concert Overture 'Froissart', the Serenade for Strings in E minor, the oratorio 'Light of Life', beautiful part-songs and piano solos, leading to the three masterworks which brought Elgar national and international fame - 'Sea Pictures', 'Enigma Variations' and 'Dream of Gerontius'. Do join us to enjoy this inspiring repertoire.
