Dear Burnard
Thankyou both for your kind and sympathetic message.
I was much interested in your quotation from your prelude – I cannot see any likeness to any tune of mine. I think that any composer worth his salt always “cribs” when he wants to – I came upon a curious coincidence the other day which I had never noticed before, well as I know both works –
