In the summer of 1888, Edward Elgar's fiancée (and pupil) Caroline Alice Roberts surprised him with the poem 'Love's Grace' written by herself. During a holiday, the composer re-membered the lines and composed, as a little present in return, 'greetings of love' for piano. One year later, the miniature, Edward Elgar's first published work, was published by Schott. The world premiere was Elgar's breakthrough as a composer. The string trio arrangement of this still popular work offers the players a rewarding task and guarantees enjoyable music-making.
