Symphony no. 1 in A-flat, op. 55

Symphony No. 1 in A-flat, Op. 55 is a symphony by English composer Edward Elgar, completed and first performed in 1908. The four-movement orchestral work displays late-Romantic, richly orchestrated textures, expansive melodic writing and complex harmonic development, and it represents a pivotal moment in Elgar's career as he established himself in the early 20th-century British symphonic tradition.
