Elgar - Sospiri for Tuba or Bass Trombone and PianoOriginally titled "Sospiri d'Amour", this instrumental miniature, Sospiri (Sighs), Opus 70 was originally intended as a companion to "Salut d'Amour". Elgar composed this heartfelt work in 1914 for string orchestra, harp, and organ, just before the outbreak of WWI. It is a bleak adagio of thoughtful intensity that he dedicated as a tribute to W. H. Reed, a dear friend, and the Concertmaster of the London Symphony. The work has been described most
