THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

Dec 21st [1943]

Dear Bush

I listened to your Rhapsody¹ the other day and thought it showed nice feeling and the texture and outline seemed good as far as I could judge on a first hearing.
The control people as usual made the clarinet rather too prominent.
Very glad to hear of your boys music club. It is very important to catch them young.
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
