Idylle is a piece for violin and piano composed by Edward Elgar in 1884, as his Opus 4, No. 1. It has appended to the title the further description (Esquisse Façile). It was Elgar's first published work.
It is dedicated to "Miss E. E., Inverness", and first published by Beare & Son in 1885. John Beare was the brother-in-law of Elgar's friend Dr. Charles Buck.
Elgar was a young unmarried man of 27 when he met the "Miss E. E." of the dedication whilst on holiday in Scotland in the summer of 1884. It is notable that she shared his initials. He recorded four meetings with her in a diary, but did not reveal her name: the first meeting was on a loch boat to Oban, and the final meeting was at Inverness, with flowers from him before a last adieu. The work was composed when he returned home from the holiday.
The work was later published by Ashdown in 1910.
__NOTOC__ Idylle was a restaurant located in Zweeloo, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in the period 1997-2007.
Owner and head chef of Idylle was Joop Zwiep.
The restaurant regularly organized culinary test-events under the name "Proef op de Tong" (Eng.: "Test on the Tongue") in which chef Zwiep often mocked with standard culinary practices. In 2001, he changed the flow of courses and started with a dessert. In 1997, he confused his guests by serving a blue asparagus soup.
The restaurant lost its star in 2008, due to Zwiep changing course from a fine dining restaurant to a cooking workshop in 2007.
Idylle is a former member of the Alliance Gastronomique Néerlandaise.
The restaurant is housed in a Dutch national monument, a Saxon farmhouse, built in the 19th century. Earlier it housed Michelin starred restaurant De Bokkenpruik.
