Edward Elgar

 Edward Elgar

The life of Edward Elgar describes how being self-taught and industrious can help us persevere. Elgar was from the working class and learned on his own. He loved classical music and was inspired by the great composers of classical music. Elgar worked hard to develop his talents and became one of the great composers in the same category as Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Chopin.

Elgar has great compositions that he created throughout his life. Elgar valued dedication and discipline. Elgar was a devout Catholic in the mid eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds. He was a Catholic and also from the working class. He was not recognized for his compositions at an early age. This may have been due to being self-taught, from the working class, and a devout Catholic.

Elgar was probably envied by other composers. To this day, he does not appear as a top composer with the greats despite being amazing. When I heard Elgar's compositions recently, I could not believe he was never suggested ever in the US. I listened to classical music throughout my life in recordings, radio concerts, and music streaming services but never heard him be suggested as a great composer.

I do not know if this is because of elitism or because he was a Catholic, but Elgar is a top composer. Elgar has cheerful compositions and impressive works. Despite the lack of recognition, Elgar describes that fame is not important and instead self-learning and fidelity to GOD Almighty is of greater value. Frost was also rejected as a poet (for being working class) and did not get renown until his sixties when he was recognized as a top poet. Elgar is a top composer. We can persevere acknowledging that we can persevere being self-taught while keeping fidelity to the GOD of gods.
