String quartet no. 7, in C minor, op. 166 by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Autograph score, fair copy in ink, with a few corrections, dated at end 'Malvern, Jan 1 [19]19'. Rehearsal numbers and a few annotations added in pencil. The work comprises the whole of op. 166, despite the presence of 'No. 1' in the title.
