In the movie it's Nimrod from the Enigma Variations, although in fact Elgar spent his last days listening to the recent recordings of his chamber music: the violin sonata (Sammons/Murdoch), string quartet and piano quintet (Harriet Cohen and the Stratton qut IIRC). Still, most viewers in the mid-60s would not have recognised these works. deryk barker ([log in to unmask], http://www.camosun.bc.ca/~dbarker)
