Salut d'Amour (“Love’s Greeting”, Elgar)

Salut d'Amour, Op. 12, is a musical work composed by Edward Elgar in 1888, when he was romantically involved with Caroline Alice Roberts. The piece was originally written for violin and piano. Elgar called it "Liebesgruss" ('Love's Greeting') because of Miss Roberts' fluency in German, and he gave her as an engagement present. The dedication was in French: "à Carice". "Carice" was a combination of his wife's names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.

Love this. Silent film pianists often played this piece for sentimental or wistful scenes. 😊

Thank you, Lovily. Thank you for always sharing your wonderful performances and beautiful selections of works with us. I believe that music has a truly amazing power. And music gives us the power and hope to express feelings that cannot be expressed in words. And even if sad and tragic events occur, we must always move forward in a positive direction, otherwise nothing can be resolved. This is my favorite poem. "Fate is cold, but providence is warm. Everything is a breath of grace, Whatever misfortune we inhale, every breath we exhale is gratitude." Wishing you and your family a week filled with good health, peace and joy! With my heartfelt gratitude and love, Lucky💝🙏💝
