A really special piece for me. I've worked on this transcription for a while, and the first version is available if you look up another video i did. This is a more refined and cleaned version with better pianistical techniques and playability haha. Man if i could choose one piece to get famous for I'd choose this, it's so special to me...
Anyways enjoy!

![Salut dAmour - Elgar/Seyoung
A piano transcription by Seyoung of the famous piece Salut dAmour!
Salut dAmour (Liebesgruß), Op. 12, is a musical work composed by Edward Elgar in 1888, originally written for violin and piano.
Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was romantically involved with Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it Liebesgruss (Loves Greeting) because of Miss Roberts fluency in German. On their engagement she had already presented him with a poem The Wind at Dawn which he set to music and, when he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck in Settle, he gave her Salut dAmour as an engagement present.[1] The dedication was in French: à Carice. Carice was a combination of his wifes names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.[2] It was published a year later by Schott & Co., a German publisher, with offices in Mainz, London, Paris and Brussels. The first published editions were for violin and piano, piano solo, cello and piano, and for small orchestra. Few copies were sold until Schott changed the title to Salut dAmour with Liebesgruss as a sub-title, and the composers name as Ed. Elgar. The French title, Elgar realised, would help the work to be sold not only in France but in other European countries.[3] The first public performance was of the orchestral version, at a Crystal Palace concert on 11 November 1889, conducted by August Manns.[4] The first recording of that version was made in 1915 for The Gramophone Company with an orchestra conducted by the composer. As a violin-and-piano piece Salut dAmour had been recorded for The Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd (predecessor to The Gramophone Company) as early as 1901 by Jacques Jacobs, leader/director of the Trocadero Restaurant orchestra. Auguste van Biene recorded a cello transcription in 1907.
