I think you're on the right track but no...
Well I had thought of the 'brand' from 'brandishes' as the 'stick against calf' (and the other letters forming 'shies' as the calf's reaction to being branded   ), but I guess I should dispense now with trying to get 'brand' in somewhere? And has it been hinted that 'calf' could mean part of the leg, leading to er sock or sth, and 'wields a stick' could be a string player ... but I'm just waffling in case 'Maestro Contraveal' is wrong.  |

"Abs" (n. plu.) is for us a new word; we learned it only last week! It signifies, apparently, the six muscles that hold the abdomen; and they when prominent are often we gather the object (or should that be subject?) of up-to-date ladies' admiration! Even more so of up-to-date men's, I believe!  Please excuse me while I swoon ... |

While stewing over Mr. Sudden's Polevshank or Nexttokine or Countercow or Versusshin or, or ... (if "calf" refers to "back of shin" resulting in "nihs" I will be very impressed) I came up with this:
Austrian dragon head, for one, wonders aloud if solver will trim the lawn (9)
Contralower?
Opposedleg?
Time for bed I think.

Clingmooer?
Attachmeat?
Gluecowlet?
Abs that ripped make me think of the segmented bellies of cockroaches exposed when they're flipped on their backs and frantically waving their legs.

That's Rach-man-ineff is it not Mr. Thompson? But we would appreciate it if you would explain "punishment for public disorderliness"! |

Well done Syd! Rachmaninov, badly pronounced.
A punishmen for public disorder is an "asbo". (Anti-Social Behaviour Order). Mixed up it gives "abso" and then with lute you get Absolute

Where do you get the 'r' from in that? I get 'Sydney Gew' (also, shouldn't it end with 'one who detests Shostakovich'? A person can't be a detestation). |
