Talk:Enigma Variations

Wasn't one of the friends his golf club secretary?

I saw more than a decade back a tv programme exploring the Enigma Variations. I well recall, because I still recognise the variation's tune, that one of Elgar's male friends (I forget the name) among the dedicatees was inter alia secretary of his local Malvern golf club. The piece is played as backdrop to an imaginary scene of Elgar on the golf course playing a hole in one, with the ball ending its journey as the music ends with a 'plop'. The article fails to mention which one. It would be worth mentioning as it is one of the few pieces where golf was musically portrayed. Those with more access than I have to Elgar biographies might care to look this up and add that in the article.Cloptonson (talk) 17:57, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Variation XIII paragraph needs to be cleaned up. It appears twice with redundant information.

Noticed both paragraphs have redundant sentences and information. Didn't touch it as I wasn't sure what to delete and what to keep. Wedgebeat (talk) 17:55, 26 March 2026 (UTC) Edit: Fixed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wedgebeat (talk • contribs) 17:15, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
