IN the small amount of chamber music
Vaughan Williams has written we find a sensitive, original, personal quality and a freedom of harmony that often leads to a rugged effect, though never to ugliness.
Like Ravel, he has written but little chamber music, and. only one String .Quartet. This, composed in 1909, and revised twelve years later, shows now and again the influence of Ravel, one of his teachers, but the dominating style is purely the composer's own.
