THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[1933]

Dear Maud
Your friend Kurt quite fascinates me, & his music.¹
The application of his very simple slightly Humperdinckian method to those tunes was lovely – & done with extreme skill & a lovely pfte part – but hard to play! – how beautifully he plays it! & I loved his murmuring the english words in that funny hoarse voice.
W^d you send me his address & his name (spelling) – I want to send him a book
Yrs
