Row erupts over Elgar Enigma score
The Elgar Foundation is calling for the return of a draft score of the Enigma Variations by Sir Edward Elgar shown on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.
According to The Times, the score disappeared during 1994 from Elgar’s Birthplace Museum in Worcestershire. Before that it had been bequeathed by the composer’s daughter, Carice, to the Elgar Foundation. More than 20 years after its disappearance, the manuscript appeared on an episode of the Roadshow filmed last year at Cardiff Castle.
