Élégie is a song of mourning — slow-moving, harmonically warm, and quietly melancholic. Drawn from the Op. 18 manuscript (published under the name Charles Henze), it is a well-shap ed vehicle for expressive tone and sustained legato phrasing.Karl Henze (also published as Charles Henze) was a German guitarist and composer active in the mid-nineteenth century.
