THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
Surrey.

20th August, 1947.

Dear Frank

The new version of the concerto is of course for one piano-forte Cyril Smith¹ has the two piano version.  You want the one piano for your slip number 52, (the same chord continues up to the last two bars.)²
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams

1.  The original typescript has several notable typing errors in this passage: ‘… for onw piano-forta Ciral Smith …’ . Perhaps it was typed by Ursula Wood.
2.  VW had sent emendations to the score of the Piano Concerto CW 1931/3 – see VWL2304 – but had not had the score of the two-piano version of the work by him to specify exactly how the changes should be entered in that.
