Bridge's
early works - those
written before the first
World War - were more
late Romantic in style,
warmly expansive, than
his mature works. The
Adagio is a four-Voice
fugue of poetic
expressiveness that makes
full use of the
instrument's tonal
resources.British
composer Frank Bridge was
active in the early
decades of the 20th
century and was a highly
respected conductor,
violist and teacher - his
sole composition student
having been Benjamin
Britten. Britten honoured
his former teacher in his
work Variations on a
Theme of Frank Bridge,
based on a theme from one
of Bridge's pieces for
String quartet.
