YOUR article headlined "Letter shows cash crisis for elderly Elgar' (April 18, p2) contains two errors.

First, the Cello Concerto was written in 1919, and not 1991 as stated.

Second, Elgar's masque The Crown of India was written in 1912. Pageant of Empire was specially composed for the opening of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium in 1924.
