The three women in Elgar s life I have just watched the 90min TV documentary on Elgar This presents some important new information which has surprised even his biographers This raises the question in my own mind as to how on earth this article can have reached FA status without mentioning at least Windflower whose existence is well known There can be no doubt that Elgar s affairs of the heart were central to his creativity and had a huge influence on his work So I repeat how can this article have reached its present state with barely a mention of this central aspect of his life
