Thank you so much for getting back to me and for clarification on the name.

I've grown so used to your good self, Geeker and me chatting about the Prize in the wee small hours (in the UK anyway) so I'm glad to hear you're still in good form:-)

Thanks Brendan
I'm fairly well up on music, but I've never heard of 11a! I was trying to justify CADENZA

Thanks again, bren - it really is good to know that people in this excellent little community look out for each other. I’ll certainly continue to pop in from time to time when circumstances permit.

Chris, I agree about 22a, the structure doesn’t quite work for me.

Snap Chris,

If you've read one my previous posts you'll know I had real trouble with the NW corner (I think I mistakenly put NE), at least 10 minutes of which was trying to find ways of justifying Cadenza 😂

Chrise and jono:
Re 22a, I suppose ‘collected’ is necessary for the (slightly clunky) surface and it can be justified because the anagram fodder consists of two words, one of which is a single letter and can therefore be treated separately, if you see what I mean.

Thanks Rog, that works. Sorted is the anagrind, and collected is an indicator to insert the single letter.
I take back my earlier comment!

Thanks jono, that’s exactly what I meant to suggest (very tentatively), but you put it so much better, and I’m very glad to have your affirmation!

"collected" wouldn't be as weird an anagrind as some I've seen, so "Duplicate parcel I collected" would be much neater.

I guess 11a is like another musical term, only smaller!
