The Elgar Cello Concerto
Oct. 15th, 2014 08:36 amThe Breughelian peasant's dance of the final movement is Elgar putting a brave face on things. He knows he hasn't found an answer to the "to be or not to be" of the first movement- no upbeat theme to match its beauty- so this will have to do. Life goes on. Enter Yorick in all his remembered glory. Clomp, clomp, clomp, clomp.
