English composer Edward Elgars premise for his "Variation on an Original Theme" was to musically characterize a dozen of his friends and associates. Each variation is designated by the initials or pseudonym of the person portrayed (hence the enigma). It is scored for 2 piccolos, 4 C flutes, 2 altos and bass.
