A short recording of the opening of one such piece fell into my hands,  performed Miss Saskia Woodnut on a £2700 flute with a gold mouthpiece, accompanied by her teacher Mrs Oliphant, performed at the Englefield Green Music Festival at the Open Space Centre (formerly the Scout Hut), Englefield Green, Surrey, last May.   (Flutter-tonguing and key-clicks were omitted from this example of the genre, as they would have rendered it far too interesting)

I have attended quite a lot of school concerts over the last few years, and there is a horrible familiarity about this rendition ...

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

11.  An honorary membership awaits any composer writing works for Grades V-VII Flute who include instructions to beat the music stand violently with the flute mouthpiece.  For a long time now, examiners have complained about the steady procession of teenage girls named Jacinta/Fenella/Camilla/Skandia*, each with about as much talent for blowing as would not inflate a paper bag, and as much gumption as a wet cloth, entering the examination room with a nice shiny new gold mouthpiece.
