Richard Stilgoe wrote & presented a fine celebration of musical larceny called Used Notes for BBC radio. As you can imagine, the Ronnie Biggs of English classicism Handel featured prominently in this piece; & the HD/E link was made as well (my favorite: the linking of the Hallelluah Chorus with Yes, We have no Bananas). Only available as a broadcast piece as far as i can tell: at least, i never seen a transcription of Notes or its sibling, Who Pays the Piper?, as commercial recording/s.
