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composed before his studies with Ravel and which was withdrawn.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'. See http://www.rvwsociety.com/earlychamberworks.htm
