I wonder if Anthony Payne is considering performing an Elgar 3rd-like
operation on it.  I've always found something strangely valedictory in
those ghostly saxophones in the last movement of the 9th; now they'll
sound just a little different.

BTW, it occurred to me that if a German-speaking musicologist had compiled
a work list for Vaughan Williams, they would, presumably, have been
identified by VWWV numbers.
