The reason it's a classic peal (to me at least) is that it is
all-the-work and has a relatively long tenors-together section.  In a
quarter peal length there are only 10 leads of each method to play with,
so I think the only way to achieve all the work is to have whole courses
or nearly whole courses of each method.  I'd be interested to see a
tenors together 1280 in any four standard TD Major methods that has all
the work and a significant number of com (over 20 say).

Probably, but a composition is either atw or it isn't :)
