Benedict Rubbra in Valley Cottage, Speen, Buckinghamshire - between the 1940's and the 1950's, morning
from Paintings 1958–1998: Ideas and Influences, page 18:
In the early morning I remember floating into consciousness with the sound of my father Edmund Rubbra practising the Schubert B flat and Ravel trios. Ribbons of sound filtered up through the gaps of the floor boards. I have often used the image of the ribbon as a metaphor for a continuous forward movement in time.
