Elgar - Salut d’Amour, Op. 12 ’’Liebesgruss’’ (Piano Accompany)

Salut d’Amour, Op. 12, is a musical work composed by Edward Elgar in 1888, originally written for violin and piano. Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was engaged to be married to Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it “Liebesgruss“ (’Love’s Greeting’) because of Miss Roberts’ fluency in German. When he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck, in Settle, he presented it to her as an engagement present. Alice, for her part, offered him a poem called “The Wind at Dawn“ which she had written years before and which he soon set to music. Performed by Jeno Jando (Piano) & Takako Nishizakii (Violin).
