Symphony No. 3

The book explores the unfinished Symphony No. 3 by Elgar, commissioned by the BBC in 1932 and left incomplete at his death in 1934. Anthony Payne's skillful elaboration of Elgar's sketches brings the composer's vision to life, transforming the fragments into a complete symphonic work. This collaboration between historical context and modern interpretation highlights Elgar's artistic intentions and the significance of his music in the classical repertoire.
