Arnold Bax figures importantly in Ralph Vaughan Williams's Piano Concerto (1931). The end of its final solo cadenza quotes the Epilogue to the Third Symphony of Bax. The matter is confused by the fact that the quotation is implicitly anticipated in the Concerto's Romanza, composed in 1926, three years before the Bax symphony's composition (1929) and four before its first performance (1930). The fuga of the concerto also foreshadows the Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, dedicated to Bax by Vaughan Williams.

Works: Bax: Symphony No. 3 (237); Vaughan Williams: Piano Concerto (237); Romanza (238); Symphony No. 4 in F Minor (238).
