Edward Elgar composa son Liebesgruß en l?honneur de sa fiancée Caroline Alice Roberts. Il intitula ainsi cette composition parce que Miss Roberts parlait allemand couramment. L?oeuvre fut publiée un an après. Les premières éditions étaient respectivement pour violon et piano piano solo violoncelle et piano et orchestre de chambre. L?édition originale n?ayant pas eu un très grand succès commercial il changea le titre en Salut d?Amour pensant qu?un titre français stimulerait les ventes non seulement en France mais aussi dans toute l?Europe? Cette pépite musicale a été admirablement arrangée pour orchestre d?harmonie par Georges Moreau.

According to his teachers Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was not particularly gifted. His special talents were acknowledged only in 1865 when he had been working for the Ministry of Finances for some years. In 1866 he was appointed teacher at the Conservatory and applied himself to composing. His oeuvre is fairly extensive and many of his compositions receive a high ranking on the international list of classical music including his six symphonies solo concertos (violin concerto and piano concertos) ballets (The Nut Cracker Swan Lake) and his overtures (1812 and Romeo and Juliette). In 1893 Tchaikovsky died of Cholera after drinking a glass of infectedwater. His Slavonic March is a popular concert piece for symphonic orchestra that is still frequently performed in concert halls. David Well arranged the theme and created a contemporary march in rock style. Tchaikovsky once said to an unsatisfied teacher: ‘I will be a great composer within 10 years time.’

Outre 4 concertos pour piano Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) a également écrit quelques symphonies. Le solo de clarinette extrait de l?adagio de sa deuxième symphonie opus 27 est sans doute l?une des plus belles mélodies de cette période.
