Benjamin Britten

Variations and fugue on a theme of Purcell-Britten wrote this piece of music specially introduce to the instruments of the Orchestra to young people. This is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition.

Britten's Suite Op.6 for Violin and Piano was composed during 1934-35 and the first performance of the complete work was given in March 1936 as part of a BBC broadcast. Three pieces from the original Suite are presented here - March Lullaby and Waltz.

This work was originally written in 1964 for two 12 year old twin brothers whom Britten met whilst working in Budapest. Each twin played the piano and one the flute and the other the violin. A second version has been prepared for those who may not be quite so versatile as the twins for whom it was originally intended and includes a version for four players with extra ad lib. passages for the Flute and Violin so they should not become bored by the long waits. This edition combines both versions with the additional passages in brackets and in small type in the score.
