Today is the birthday of Edward Elgar (1857-1934). it is also the birthday of British writer Thomas Hardee (1840-1928).

The Cello concerto is one of the most popular cello concertos along with that of Antonin Dvorak(Opus# 104).
Both men were British. Hardy was critical of British Victorian Society. He is remembered for his novels. The most famous one was The Mayor of Casterbridge.
