Morning Sarge. Nasty business this. Yes, Cardew. Thirty years in CID and it never gets any easier. Whats the MO? Playing the slow movement of an Elgar symphony without vibrato. Nasty stuff Blimey. The depravity. Elgar, you say? Told anti-terrorism? Yes sarge. And Special Branch Hmm. If you ask me this is the work of the Norrington gang. Slow allegro, fast adagio, dodgy brass intonation. Got his dabs all over it. Blimey, the Super wont like that. Got a lot on his plate: three inappropriate bowings, wave of equal temperament and a nasty case of carrying a contrabassoon with intent ... But this is the big one. Remember when the Norringtons pulled that caper at the Proms? Blood, tweed and upturned bath chairs all over South Kensington. Questions in the House. Yep. Give me the good old days when a man could walk down the street with nothing to worry about other than the odd bit of Boulez. Now its all gut strings, no chin-rest and natural harmonics. Its musicological correctness gone mad OK Cardew. You clear up here and Ill talk to the Super. See you back at the Niquet.
