THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
SURREY.

9th August, 1950

Dear Müller Hartmann

Thank you so much for that interesting quotation, which I entirely agree with. I once heard a performance broadcast from Leipzig, where they ought to know. It seemed to me one of the worst I ever heard.¹
Please thank Marianne² very much for so kindly translating it for me.
The Fourth Act of the Opera³ is out, and I shall hope soon to be able to send you a copy.
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
