Piano Quintet 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 One of the 'Early Works' composed before his studies with Ravel and which was withdrawn.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'.
