The Romance in E minor for violin and piano is a work by Edward Elgar composed in 1878 or 1879 [1] and published in 1885 as his Opus 1.

The Romance was dedicated to Oswin Grainger, an older friend of Elgar's from a Worcester orchestra they played in, who was an amateur musician and grocer by trade.[2] It was published by Schott's in 1885 and the first performance was on 20 October, in Worcester.[3]

It is a short work, with performing time about 5 minutes.
