Edmund Rubbra in Northampton - the 1910's
from The music of Edmund Rubbra, page 6:
During the crucial years in my early life from 1915 to 1920 Northampton happened to be rich in talented amateur and professional instrumentalists […] There was also a local string quartet of excellent amateur players. In listening to their rehearsals and eventually writing a piece for them, a new sound-world was revealed to me.
