Dear Evans

Many thanks for the notes which seem as good as they can be without musical quotations.
Perhaps some of the accounts of modulation suggest rather a Mus Bac harmony question  “Start thus & modulate through  P minor, Q major, R# minor back to the original key.  Preserve some unity of style” – But I dare say this is necessary – & certainly if people like it, certainly let them have it.
Yrs sincerely

R Vaughan Williams
