Serenade for Strings in E minor, Op. 20 by Edward Elgar
Elgar completed this short work for string orchestra in 1892, with the first public performance being given in July of 1896 in Antwerp. Elgar dedicated the serenade to musician and organ builder Edward W. Whinfield. Evidence suggests this work may have originally begun as a suite for string orchestra by a much younger Elgar, with the composer finally realising the work in the form it is today at age 35.
This serenade is comprised of three movements: I. Allegro piacevole II. Larghetto III. Allegretto
