A lot of it seems to be copied verbatim from one of the music journal articles that I have - "Elgar's Enigma", written by Dr. J.A. Westrup, first published in the April 1960 issue of the Royal Music Association's bi-annual journal. A copy of the article is available online through an archive (JSTOR), but you won't be able to access it unless you're a student or an employee at a pre-determined school in their database.

Alternatively, you can just copy and paste the first post into Google and most of the first result comes up in bold. Entire sentences, almost. But like I said, you won't be able to access the article if you click on the link.

What you posted is quite interesting though. I really don't know much about Elgar - he was not a topic of discussion in my music history class lectures. Of course I know the Pomp and Circumstance Marches (especially the one that is played at everyone's graduation), and I know that his wife ruled his manuscript paper for him
