If you know the dedicatees you can really hear how Holbrooke pays homage to them! If you don’t know the dedicatees you just learned about a lot of great English composers (and Strauss)!
Var. 16 C. D. would be Claude Debussy. A lot of people called Cyril Scott "The English Debussy," and people found their harmony to be superficially similar.
Well, they were contemporaries, clearly the style can be similar. But when Holbrooke wrote this piece Grainger was only 24 and didn't published anything yet... ;)
Strangely enough, the trumpeter deviates from the score in the first measure, playing an f# instead of a g on the quaver. At 18:36 the glockenspiel quotes "Yankee Doodle", for whatever reason. Afterwards, the old Scottish song "Annie Laurie" can be heard in the oboes.
It could be a mystake in the piano transcription, or just a different version: Holbrooke was known to always make a lot of revision after revision of all his pieces (basically each of his symphonies had been numbered differently during his lifetime). This piece literally have some different dedication for some variations. The fun thing about the Yankee Doodle quote is that it's basically impossibile to hear it - or at least I can't discern any pitch with my headphones.
Nei prossimi giorni ci saranno anche un altro paio di brani di Holbrooke più "seri", altrimenti lo faccio passare per quello che scriveva variazioni sulle filastrocche! :D

@@SPscorevideos Benissimo saranno piacevoli ascolti, eventualmente da proporre. Grazie!!👍👍👍👌👌👌
Who would C. T. be? The harmonies sound more like Cyril Scott, but I can't think of a British composer with the initials C. T.
Unless he means Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, but Coleridge-Taylor died in 1912.
@@jdoggtn7 It's Coleridge-Taylor, the identities are all in description.
Él es el autor de esta obra?
Joseph Holbrooke
