Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, Op. 10, is a work for string orchestra by Benjamin Britten. It was written in 1937 at the request of Boyd Neel, who conducted his orchestra at the premiere of the work at that year’s Salzburg Festival. It was the work that brought Britten to international attention.
Benjamin Britten studied with Frank Bridge from 1927. 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.
