elements in the world of music, claiming the privilege of youth in
musicians of all tastes and factions that a Master had arisen among them, and when Dr. Richter began' to conduct the well-known Halle Concerts, and thereby made the town of Manchester the centre of
gravity for England's musical life, he made a special point of per- forming all the new works at Elgar. On the European continent Elgar had already begun to rouse interest, and when in 1902 his
