Beau Brummel Minuet (both versions)

Picture
Elgar's incidental music for Bertram P. Matthews’ play Beau Brummel was written in 1928. According to contemporary reports the music was very extensive : however, it has entirely disappeared with the exception of this Minuet, which survives both in its original version for theatre band and a slightly shorter version for full orchestra. This is the first appearance in print of the stage version, and the first publication of the full score of the concert version.
