Frank Bridge wrote these three light-hearted and fairly easy String Quartets for the English String Quartet of which he was a member to play at the Annual General Meeting of the Royal College of Music Union in 1904. Accessible for advanced school students they are published with the kind permission of the Frank Bridge Trust and transcribed from the original manuscript.

These three pieces were written seperately between 1901 and 1910 for cello and piano but are arranged here for Violin and Piano. Three of Frank Bridge's more popular and familiar works from his early days of composition are included here and although masterful and beautiful are rather conservative in the use of traditional techniques.

This work Trio Rhapsody For Two Violins And Viola was written in 1928 by Frank Bridge. This work of the English composer and viola-player is now beginning to enjoy some favour not least through the fact that he was the teacher of Benjamin Britten.

Benjamin Britten wrote his 'String Quartet in F' in April 1928 shortly after he began lessons with Frank Bridge. He was fourteen at the time and it is thought that this piece was set as a homework exercise by this new teacher.This study score is in four parts.

Score and PartsStandard: ElementaryChristine Brown is a highly respected teacher and composer for young people and in her Chandos Suite for violin cello and piano she marries her wealth of practical experience in coaching elementary players in the art of chamber music with her distinctively tuneful way of writing for the three instruments. A wistful Prelude precedes a mysterious scherzo of plucked and bowed whole-tone scales. A Serenade gives all the players a chance to shine in cantabile melody before the pulsating rhythms of the final Dance bring the suite to a brilliant conclusion. The Chandos Suite is a worthy addition to Stainer &Bell's collection of classic piano trios for young musicians including popular works by Frank Bridge Adam Carse Cornelius Gurlitt and Peter Martin.
