Edward Elgar.

DH on a long speakerphone conversation with his parents now talking about the potential closing of Elgar's Birthplace by the National Trust due to lack of footfall.

They think the problem is that no one 'these days' knows who he is.

Could I be biased as I live where he lived therefore know people who have lived in one of his properties, have been in venues he frequented, know roads named after him and see statues everywhere... therefore I think he's more significant than he is?

I know who he is but I love classical music. I agree that a lot of people of won’t know who he is.

The composer? If yes then only because my Nan had Four Seasons at her funeral

Which is by Vivaldi

I’m hoping it was nimrod (otherwise would have been a long funeral if they’d played The Four Seasons)
