Today we return to our good friend and yours, Edward Elgar, and once again, not looking at pomp and circumstance, but this time a very short work for piano that you've probably not heard before, known as Schitze.
Schitze.
Yep, it's a fun little piece with a fun little name.
You might have read it in the title as Skizzy accidentally, but we checked the pronunciation.
It is in fact Skitsa, so we will try to maintain that pronunciation throughout.
And we're about to have a little fun going through it with you.
And do please go back and listen to our previous episode with more details of Elgar's biography if you're interested in that subject matter.
And for now, on to Skizze.
