Autograph full score of George Butterworth's unfinished Fantasia for orchestra (1914). From amongst the papers of R. Vaughan Williams, Butterworth's musical executor. Printed in Musica Britannica, v. 92. A note in bars 6-7 suggests it was orchestrated from a short score (presumably of the complete work) now lost.

Two completions of this work have been made and recorded by Kriss Russman and Martin Yates.
