Walton's Piano Quartet, which was composed during his sixteenth and seventeenth years, won a Carnegie award in 1924, the judges reporting on it as follows : ' Clear and transparent in texture, restrained in feeling, well written throughout, and rising at moments of climax into a strain of great beauty and nobility. It is a work of real achievement.'
