About this piece
The Variations though composed in 1905 were not published until 1918 as they were lost for several years. Here Coleridge-Taylor's compositional skills are readily on display as he takes an ordinary theme and creates a set of brilliant and highly appealing variations. Essentially, there are four self-contained movements, (Allegro, Allegro, Larghetto and Vivace) each with a different mood. Our soundbite presents about a quarter of the work.
