in C Minor |

1903.
For violin, viola, cello, double bass and piano. One
of the 'Early Works' composed before his studies with
Ravel and which was withdrawn. After the passage of time
and in view of the wide interest in the composer's early
works, his widow Ursula in consultation with her advisers
agreed to the release of selected compositions and their
publication by Faber Music in the series 'Ralph Vaughan
Williams: The Early Works'. See http://www.rvwsociety.com/earlychamberworks.htm
