This is the ninth and most often performed work of Sir Edward Elgar´s famous Enigma Variations of 1899. It pays tribute to his close friend, A.J. Jaeger, whose surname in German means hunter (according to the Bible, Noah´s great grandson, Nimrod, was a gifted hunter). The overall success of this work depends heavily on a group´s ability to observe dynamic nuance and play with good tone quality, blend and balance. The divisi 1st Violin part provides better players with welcome challenges.
