Nimrod is Variation IX from Enigma Variations and is probably the most famous one. It is dedicated to Augustus J. Jaeger. He was a close friend of Elgar's, giving him useful advice but also severe criticism, something Elgar greatly appreciated. Elgar later related how Jaeger had encouraged him as an artist and had stimulated him to continue composing despite setbacks. Nimrod is described in the Old Testament as "a mighty hunter before the Lord", Jäger (which can also be spelt Jaeger) being German for hunter.

Piano arrangement is somewhat compromise between original Elgar's version and Percy Aldrigdge Grainger's one. I tried to choose the best of both.
