Salut d'Amour - Cello and Piano
Edward Elgar

Edward Elgar's Salvation in Love is one of those works by the English master whose melodies are simply unforgettable. Composed in 1888 for the attention of his future wife, Caroline Alice Roberts, this piece quickly began its triumphant world tour. There are a staggering number of arrangements, but only the autographs of the versions for violin and piano (HN 1188), piano solo (HN 1190) and for cello and piano have survived. Until now, only one arrangement of the cello version circulated, which was probably produced by the original publisher with the approval of Elgar. We present for the first time the version produced according to the autograph of Elgar which, we do not know the reasons, was never published. We also reproduce the familiar musical text of the first edition.
