Is this the way to go ?

The prime minister received an invitation to the concert of the New Yorker Philharmonics in Budapest, but he delegated the finance minister instead. Schubert's Incomplete Symphony was the program. Next day the members of the ministerial council found the following memorandum on their desks:

Ref.:   Evaluation of the Incomplete Symphony from fiscal viewpoint

I drew the following conclusions from the concert last night:

1. The oboas were silent for a long time. Their number has to be reduced, their task distributed among other members of the orchestra.

2. All 12 violins played the same melody. This points out an unnecessary parallelism and cries for an essential reduction. If 12 violins were needed because of the desired volume, then 11 violins could be replaced by a proper amplifier.

3. Major effort has been made for the correct recitation of 1/16 tacts. This seems to be a surplus: they should play 1/8-s instead. Then in place of highly qualified musicians students or beginners could be employed with essentially reduced wages and public costs.

4. I do not see any purpose in that, that the brass instruments repeat the melody already played by the strings. Due to the removal of these unnecessary repetitions the Symphony can be played in 20 minutes instead of two hours.

I must draw the conclusion that Schubert would have had to consider the above points and then he could probably have completed his symphony.

Proposal:

The introduction of the above principles in the musical life of the Nation will make it possible to held several concerts in the same hall. As an immediate consequence half of the concert halls can be closed resulting further substantial savings. The adaptation of the above mentioned principles for research, education, psychiatric clinics and other costly public institutions will just amplify the success of my program.
