Dear Evans
Many thanks for the notes which seem as good as they can be without musical quotations.
Perhaps some of the accounts of modulation suggest rather a Mus Bac harmony question “Start thus & modulate through P minor, Q major, R# minor back to the original key. Preserve some unity of style” – But I dare say this is necessary – & certainly if people like it, certainly let them have it.
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
