Well, if we're being silly I have arranged a certain piece by Cage.  If you take it at exactly the right speed (including time signature changes) the movements are all the correct length too.

NB

Which piece is that, Not Bomb?

My bro and I (him more than me) once arranged Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture for a Consort of Viols, 2 recorders (doubling crumhorns and racketts), a curtal, mixed percussion and pop-guns, titled "The 1612 Overture" - and busked it very successfully in Brighton and in Covent Garden.  I believe Opilec once played the (very busy) percussion in this (in his student days, before he became a renowned Janacek scholar, of course...) - perhaps he can comment, if he is around? Wink

Mind you, you were rather beaten to that by Elizabeth Poston's Tchaikovsky arrangement Sugar Plums for the Dolmetsch Ensemble plus the late Felix Apprahamian et al. for the 1958 Hoffnung Interplanetary Music Festival.....

I think we'd heard that one, Ron - although it was a Hoffnung piece which gave us the (un-)original idea (as 18-year-old students...)

IIRC there was a Hoffnung spoof piece of that kind?  It was all a long time ago now...
