Further information

Scores of the original are available from Schott Universal on 0207 437 1246 or  Boosey & Hawkes on 0207 291 7255 / email musicshop@boosey.com.   An Eulenburg miniature score (No. 884, ISBN No. 3-7957-6710-5) is available for about £7.00 or a Dover Edition full-sized score is available for about £14.00.

Elgar's own transcription of Enigma Variations for piano solo is also available from Novello (Order No. Nov 100042R, ISBN No. 0-85360-520-3).  The distributors are Music Sales Limited but the suppliers listed above can probably provide it.

There is a recording of the piano transcription by Anthony Goldstone, a pianist who has worked frequently with English Classical Players and whose work we would recommend without hesitation. For more information about this recording click here.
