Although eventually overshadowed by that of his friend Elgar, Edward German's music, ranging from symphonies, suites and concert overtures to ballads and salon pieces, enjoyed great success in the later Victorian and Edwardian periods. He was also seen as the natural successor to Sullivan, completing the latter's last opera The Emerald Isle and composing his own masterpiece Merrie England for the Savoy Theatre in 1902.
The manuscript of the Suite has been lost. In following the original Rudall Carte edition the present editor was faced with many inconsistencies and a number of discrepancies, too many to list, between the score and the solo part. These have been resolved in most cases in favour of the solo part, where the extra phrasing marks are assumed to have been added as the result of performing experience.
