Edward Elgar composed his Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36, popularly known as the Enigma Variations, between October 1898 and February 1899. It is an orchestral work comprising fourteen variations on an original theme. After its 1899 premiere in London, the Variations quickly achieved popularity and helped internationally establish Elgar's growing reputation. It is now a staple of regularly performed orchestral repertoire globally, and is especially connected with national and nostalgic celebrations in and of the United Kingdom.In this easy arrangement for cello with piano accompaniment we have the marvelous ninth variation: Nimrod (Adagio). This variation is very famous within British culture, often used at British funerals, memorial services and other ceremonial occasions. A version was also played at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, and during the 2022 BBC Proms after the season was cut short due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. An adaptation of the piece appears at the ending of the 2017 film Dunkirk in the score by Hans Zimmer.The arrangement is suitable for any occasion: classroom, repertoire, recital or a touching encore.
