20th Century Friday: Bridge – Allegro appassionato in B minor (1908)

Frank Bridge’s Allegro appassionato in B minor (H.82) is a vibrant early 20th-century chamber piece written for viola and piano (circa 1907).

It is a bright, energetic, and expressive ternary-form work that showcases early chromaticism, often paired with his Pensiero for viola.
