Serenade for Strings (Elgar)
- Serenade for Strings (Elgar)
Edward Elgar's Serenade for Strings in E minor was written in March 1892 and first performed in private in that year, by the Worcester Ladies' Orchestral Class, with the composer conducting. It received its first public performance in Antwerp on July 23, 1896.
Dedicated to WH Whinfield, it is approximately 12 minutes in duration and is in three movements.
tructure
# Allegro piacevole
# Larghetto
# Allegretto
The first movement begins in 6/8 time with a rhythmic figure. The second movement is in 2/4 time; it is closest to the mature Elgar in style. The third movement begins in 12/8 time, changing to 6/8 on the reappearance of the theme of the first movement.
