When composing the first of his six "Pomp and Circumstance Marches,"
Edward Elgar excitedly told his
friend,
A. "I wonder if this piece is going to turn out this
time."
B. "It is a poorly written piece - I fear no one will like
it."
C. "I've got a tune that will knock 'em --knock 'em flat
a tune like that comes once in a lifetime!
