Hurlstone's Variations, the first of three orchestral works in variation form, were written in 1896, when Hurlstone was twenty. The music is characteristic and individual, despite the composer's youth, and the scoring clear and effective. Hurlstone had just achieved a considerable success with his Piano Concerto (the first broadcast performance of which was given in March this year by Patrick Piggott and the BBC Midland Light Orchestra), and the main theme of the finale of that work is introduced into the ninth variation. The last variation but one was later arranged by Hurlstone for violin and piano and pubhshed as one of the ' English Sketches.'
The Finale is an extended movement which begins with a Fugato and ends with a brilliant Coda.
