Working with Vaughan Williams: some newly discovered manuscripts

Abstract

• IN the Autumn of 1988 the British Library published Working with Vaughan Williams my account of eleven years spent as musical assistant to the composer, and of the friendship which grew up between us during that time. The volume prints in full seventy-four letters written to me by Vaughan Williams, interwoven with an explanatory commentary and personal narrative; it is illustrated with examples of some of the manuscripts and documents from which I had to work.
