Jog my memory, please

Post by jmerring »

I am trying to remember the 'Nimrod' variation in the 'Enigma Variations' by Sir Edward Elgar. Is it the movement the starts out with the furious tuba solo?

Thank you.

IT really was not a joke. I could not rememberthe order of the movements. I am 100% deaf, and was just trying to remember it. Thank you for the useless video.

My apologies. It is hard to determine if people are joking or not sometimes. I didn't mean to offend. I just thought that Nimrod is the most well known of the Enigma variations. Nimrod starts out very quietly and builds. So no, it doesn't start with a furious Tuba solo.

My thanks for the copy of the parts and also for the description. I had also forgotten that it is 11(?) movements (I wasn't paying close attention). All I remember from it, is that difficult tuba work to start out one of the movements.
