Important British composer (1913-1976), widely regarded as the greatest since Purcell, whose works include the opera Peter Grimes, the War Requiem, and scores of choral works. TLS, one page, 8 x 10, The Red House (Aldeburgh, Suffolk) letterhead, January 3, 1961. Letter to noted musicologist Gerald Abraham, in full: “I enclose a copy of a letter which I have had reluctantly to write to Mr. Lynch. I hope you will understand and forgive me, and perhaps not forget me altogether! By the way, in your very useful symposium on Schumann you mention in the list of works Five Romances for cello and piano. As they are not discussed in the text I imagine they have never been published. If this is not so, and you happen to know the publisher, could you let me have a card as I am most anxious to have a look at them? With best wishes for the New Year.” In fine condition.
