Info
Salut d’Amour, Op. 12 by Edward Elgar was composed 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. He presented it to her as an engagement present.
The dedication was in French: "à Carice". "Carice" was a combination of his wife's names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.
After the piece was published, only few copies were sold until Schott’s changed the title to "Salut d’Amour" with "Liebesgruss" as a sub-title. The first public performance was of the orchestral version, at a Crystal Palace concert on 11 November 1889, conducted by August Manns.
Toshinari Iijima created a wonderful arrangement for wind band.
