Autograph letter signed from Edward Elgar to Adolph Brodsky

Scope and Content

Elgar writes to Dr. Brodsky about the arrangements for the concert which will be for their own subscribers. Elgar is not satisfied with the proposed programme and suggests that it might stand thus: Tchaikovsky or Volkmann Quintet; then solo 'cello, solo violin, solo viola; then a Beethoven quartet, either op. 95, 127 or 130. This will do away with the extracts from Tchaikovsky since their people want the whole thing, not bits. Dated 17 Feb 1903.
