This is really great! Thank you so much for doing this!
I am pleased you liked it
Non c'è musica più strugente perche ' lasci la propria anima
I have to create a mockup of this for my course. I don't read music so it's proving difficult. Thanks for this. If you're around for a zoom call or anything I will pay you! By the way I can't see which instruments are playing?
You can download a full score for free at this link to see which instruments are playing: imslp.org/wiki/Variations_on_an_Original_Theme_%27Enigma%27,_Op.36_(Elgar,_Edward)
I don't have time for a call this week. How soon would you need a Zoom call? I could make time for a call during the first week of January. I am on Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time, so we will need a suitable time for both of us. You can email me at: robert@composernotes.com
Jazz-style per-chord analysis doesn't do functional tonal harmony anywhere near as much justice as classical functional analysis does. If this is to be of any use to a student of harmony or composition, relative degrees and modulations must be analysed, too.
Thanks for your feedback. Most of the analyses I have done include both. This did not. I will include do so in future

I can't read the new chords. Can't you use traditional notation?
I can do a version with scale degree names such as: I, IV, ii, V7 if I understand correctly that it is this method you would like. That method works well for classical works that remain close to the home key. It does not work so well for romantic era works that are more chromatic. It will work in this instance as Nimrod stays close to the home key throughout. I will upload a new version by Friday 14 July
