Falstaff – Symphonic Study in C minor, Op. 68, is an orchestral work by the English composer Edward Elgar. Though not so designated by the composer, it is a symphonic poem in the tradition of Franz Liszt and Richard Strauss. It portrays Sir John Falstaff, the "fat knight" of William Shakespeare 's Henry IV Parts 1 and 2.
From inn to battlefield, Elgar’s symphonic portrayal of Shakespeare’s rotund knight Falstaff is one of his most colourful creations. We raise a toast to the best recordings.
