39 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh, 7. - The only occasion on which he can swear that the E major fugue was sung was in a Welsh village schoolroom. 'The Welsh are born in four-part chorus and in full song'. Tovey was playing to his cousin Basil Jones's parishioners, on a piano with 'immovable pedals... and no nuance', so that the fugue was the only thing he could manage. He explained that it was like a four-part chorus, and 'mentioned each voice... as it had the subject'; played it three times '& the 3rd time the whole schoolroom sang it!'.
