Abstract
The Park Lane Group's recent concert series ‘The British String Quartet’ provided a useful conspectus of the various ways in which British composers have tackled the quartet medium; but at the Introductory Symposium on 6 November some members of the public seemed to think the series would have benefitted by the inclusion of more works previous to the year 1960: the quartets of Vaughan Williams, Frank Bridge, Van Dieren, Rubbra, and Alan Bush's Dialectic were all mentioned in this regard. One name absent from the discussion—because it is doubtful if the participants had ever heard it, and impossible that they should be familiar with a body of unpublished music that has lain virtually undisturbed since 1939—was that of John Foulds. Yet Foulds was a prolific writer of string quartets; and at least one of them, the Quartetto Intimo of 1931–2, seems to me one of the most exciting essays in the medium ever written by a British composer. Since that work is shortly to be heard in public for the first time, it seems appropriate to direct some attention to the achievement of a composer whose music is only just beginning to emerge from the shadows.
