Enigma Variations: Powder Her Face Adès (+2 More)

Despite some disappointing early performances, Tchaikovsky grew to value his First Concerto above all his other piano compositions. The work that finally made Elgar famous was a happy accident. While improvising at the piano he came up with the tune he would later call “Enigma.” Inspired, he generated a slew of variations depicting his friends, all attempts to write in their voices.
