~ Sir Edward Elgar 1st Baronet, OM, GCVO (1857 – 1934). Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was engaged to be married to Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it Liebesgruss (Love’s Greeting) because of Miss Roberts’ fluency in German. When he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck, in Settle, he presented it to her as an engagement present. Alice, for her part, offered him a poem called The Wind at Dawn which she had written years before and which he soon set to music. youtube/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=86OwAQIAaKk#t=163
