Elgarian's avatar

[Luke]

visiting the Guardian's homepage just now, I saw a very familiar image. Given that the page linked to describes itself thus:

Music Weekly: Live tracks special

Husky Rescue: Sound of Love
Broken Bells: High Road
Andreya Triana: A Town Called Obsolete

Stornoway: Fuel Up

why is our friend Elgarian's avatar, or an image identical to the one which he presumably snipped from a score of the Elgar Violin Concerto himself, used to illustrate it? Mighty confused

. . . snipped from a score of the Elgar Violin Concerto . . . .

Perhaps it is quoted in Husky Rescue: Sound of Love? . . .

[Luke]

It must be that! Of course, how silly of me.... 

But seriously, it is identical to his avatar, and I'm pretty sure that's not just a common piece of musical clip art, is it? Doesn't look like one.  Most odd

[karlhenning]

I'm every bit as confused as your esteemed self!

[Lethevich]

Eerie - and an even stronger reason for him to return to share in scratching our heads over the mystery

[Luke]

Discovering that they've been rumbled, the image is now missing from the Guardian's page:

     I don't read music, so I looked at the phrase and "daa da daa daa, da daa da daa daa" and I heard it! In the orchestra, no less. Oh, how I love that piece.

I think we may yet be missing some significance in Husky Rescue: Sound of Love, though.
