===Variation X (''Intermezzo: Allegretto'') "Dorabella"=== Dora Penny, a friend whose [[Stammering|stutter]] is gently parodied by the woodwinds. Dora, later Mrs. Richard Powell, was the daughter of the Revd (later Canon) Alfred Penny. Her stepmother was the sister of William Meath Baker, the subject of Variation IV. She was the recipient of another of Elgar's enigmas, the so-called [[Dorabella Cipher]]. She described the "Friends Pictured Within" and "The Enigma" in two chapters of her book ''Edward Elgar, Memories of a Variation''. This variation features a melody for solo viola. <score sound="1"> \relative c'' { \clef treble \time 3/4 \key g \major \tempo "Allegretto." 4 = 80 r4 r4 <b \accent g d>32 \pp (<c g d>32 <b g d>32 ) r32 r8 | <d \accent b g>32 (<e b g>32 <d b g>32) r32 r8 <g d b>16-- <fis d b>-. <fis d b>-. <e d b>-. } </score>
