"The March Past of the Kitchen Utensils is also quite charming..." Isn't this to little strict to objective facts? At least it could be given as: similarly, the March Past of the Kitchen Utensils is sometimes performed separately, for often being considered quite charming... No, obviously I cannot really accept this quite here. --Trombek Bombek (talk) 19:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Error found in article[edit]

Since some have objected to "drive-by" editors changing articles without discussing it first, I wish to point out an error in the opening paragraph of the article. It is stated that The Wasps is "Vaughan Williams' first of only three forays into incidental music." In actuality, he wrote a fair amount of incidental music. By my count there is, in addition to The Wasps, music for seven plays, most written in 1913, plus some music for productions of four more that did not occur. And then there are scores for three radio productions. Do you wish me to amend the statement in the article? Rgrames (talk) 05:30, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PS Also, VW only recorded the Overture, not the whole production as is implied at the end of the same paragraph. Rgrames (talk) 05:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
