In 1932 he began writing a set of variations on a theme from one of Bridge's works, as a tribute to his teacher, but he was distracted by other matters and the work went nowhere. In May 1937,[3] the organizers of the Salzburg Festival invited Boyd Neel and his orchestra to perform three works at that year's Festival, in August, only three months away. One of those works had to be a previously unperformed work by a British composer. Neel knew Britten from having conducted his film score for Love From a Stranger in 1936, so he asked him to write a new work for a string orchestra. Britten accepted the commission and immediately started work on a new set of variations on a theme by Bridge. Britten took as his theme the second of Bridge's Three Idylls for string quartet, Op. 6, No. 2. The first sketch was completed in 10 days, and the work was fully scored by 12 July. He dedicated the work "to F.B. A tribute with affection and admiration". Both Bridge and Britten attended rehearsals of the work. The work was given its concert premiere, as planned, on 27 August 1937 in Salzburg. However, its broadcast premiere occurred two days earlier; it was played live on Radio Hilversum on 25 August. Its British premiere took place on 5 October of the same year. It was first recorded in 1938 by Neel conducting his own string orchestra. A recording with Britten himself conducting did not appear until 1967, with the English Chamber Orchestra for Decca. It has also been recorded by many other ensembles, with conductors including Herbert von Karajan, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Charles Groves, Sir Alexander Gibson, and Steuart Bedford. Each variation is a nod to a specific quality in Bridge's personality but reflected through the prism of Britten's own personality. The Adagio represented Bridge's integrity; the March was his energy; the Romance his charm; the Aria Italiana his humour; the Bourrée his tradition; the Wiener Walzer his enthusiasm; the Moto perpetuo his vitality; the Funeral March his sympathy; the Chant was his reverence; the Fugue was his skill (it contains a number of references to other works by Bridge); and their mutual affection appears in the Finale. These connections were made explicit on the score Britten presented to Bridge, but they do not appear in the printed score. Britten also imitated the styles of a number of composers such as Gioachino Rossini, Maurice Ravel, and Igor Stravinsky. Paul Kildea writes of the piece: Though the theme is played in the opening section, it is done so rather whimsically, and it is only at the end of the piece that it is spelled out with weight and clarity. When it arrives it makes sense of everything that has gone before it, demanding that we start again from the beginning, hearing the work once more, this time with our ears alert. (Wikipedia)

Project Content The project is a fully edited film that incorporates visual, aural components and spoken narratives. All creative content is performed/written/recorded/directed/filmed by myself. The cinematography interweaves the recorded performance with the flowing scenery. The narratives reflect well-researched scholarly perspectives, consistently presented through the voice of Chopin's Scottish pupil, Jane Stirling. Music drives the propulsion of the story, whereas sometimes it plays foliage for the visual elements. The film creates both the emotional world and an intellectual platform: whilst the ambient music fizzles out, biographical-historical accounts come to the fore to inform, as well as transform, the experience of the audience. The entire film substantiates an aesthetic argument—that Chopin’s music is sufficiently powerful to transform the soundscape of his time and also nowadays. His sentiment is a nostalgic one, representing a bygone era, yet the rationale behind his poetic musical language reveals a strong proto-modernistic aspiration. The prescient modernity in Chopin's music is underpinned by his subversive usage of music against the cacophonies of the increasingly industrialised, and de-romanticised, sonic environment.
