• ALT1: ... that Malcolm Arnold left his second clarinet concerto in a hotel room with flowers and a bottle of Jack Daniel's?
• ALT2: ... that Benny Goodman told Malcolm Arnold "I may be a bit stoned but I think your concerto is just great!"?

• Date, length OK. Article well cited, with a citation following the hook. I like the original hook, provided that it does not breach any WP rules about colourful language. The comment certainly sounds typical of what we know about Malcolm Arnold! --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:35, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
