In 1891, Rosa Burley took over a finishing school in Malvern where the young, an almost unknown, Edward Elgar, was a visiting violin teacher. Although their first meeting was not a success, they became life-long friends, with Burley supporting Elgar’s career. But Burley was far from idolatrous and the portrait of Elgar which emerges from this account of their friendship is candid and intimate.
