Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Guthrie Foote (OUP)
Letter No.: VWL2506
The White Gates,
Dorking,
18th December, 1947.
Dear Mr. Foote,
Pianoforte Concerto.
The two versions must correspond and I think we had better take the two-pianoforte version as being authentic.1
Yours sincerely,
[R Vaughan Williams]2
G. Foote, Esq.,
Oxford University Press,
38a Soho Square,
London, W.1.
1. Foote had written reporting a discrepancy between the placing of the ‘loco’ chord which comes three bars before the end in the two-piano version but only two in VW’s manuscript correction slips [for the one-piano version]. Were each of these correct for their respective versions?
2. The signature appears to have been cut out of this letter.
