Line 1: {{~~trope~~creator}} Sir '''Edward Elgar''' (~~2nd~~2 June 1857~~-23rd~~ – 23 February 1934), was a British Composer, born near Worcester in 1857. He is known a number of pieces, including the Enigma Variations, the Pomp And Circumstance Marches (five), and Cello Concerto. His musical style, unlike his contemporaries on the British music scene, was not influenced by Folk music, but more on Continental influences, including Handel, and French composers, including Berlioz, Saint-Saens and Delibes, the last which proved to be a major influence on his music. After his death in 1934, his work mostly disappeared from view. However, in recent years he has been increasing in popularity internationally, yet still remains most popular in Britain. Line 6: As something of a side note, he was an avid cryptography buff and left behind a cypher which remains unbroken to this day. {{creatortropes}} ~~-------~~ * [[British Footy Teams]]: Elgar supported Wolverhampton Wanderers, and often cycled from Malvern to Wolverhampton to watch their games.
