Elgar Birthplace Museum.

"The birthplace of Edward is in the neighbourhood of the Malvern Hills, and it is easy to find the spirit of these bold elevations, with their invigorating air, historical traditions and beautiful views, in the composer's earlier big works. Although the father recognised his son's talent as the latter grew along, he was unable to afford him any special guidance, so the boy was left mostly to his own devices as far as music was concerned." Extract from "Sir Edward Elgar" (Open Library)
