Alternate sections are marked Say and Play. The Say sections are spoken or sung to an improvised tune in a stentorian and condescending manner, as a traffic court judge lecturing a recidivist speeder. Read as though the text makes perfect sense, even though its grammar and meaning may make sudden, unexpected turns.
The Play sections use an ordinary five-line staff
with oval note heads (
) interspersed
with diamond (
) and cross (
) note heads. Play
in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking
or solicitous or calm or resigned or anything else appropriate.
) indicates some non-standard noise, like
a multiphonic or a strum behind the bridge or a dropped drumstick or a cheese-grater arpeggio or something else. Use your imagination.
) indicates a note that is one semitone (in either
direction) different from the preceding note.
You can play in concert with other performers, who may play other versions of this piece, or other any other materials, composed or improvised. When playing with others, the Say sections should be performed as disruptively as possible, and the Play sections should be played sensitively, with utmost regard to enhancing the performance of the other players.
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:














Say: I've seen the CD in record stores here. But for the last, which restates the first.
Play:














































Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than the one who called the piece didn't have any trouble hearing the minor mistake by the Dallas Wind Symphony with Frederick Fennell conducting.
Play:


































































Say: What for you to check out the "too long" excuse, given that I didn't choose the original distribution. However, note that typists don't need to turn a page. Also note that the discussion of a pontification doesn't make it any less of a competitive ethos, or the competitive ethos? Depends on whether the "no" is included as the former is irrelevant here.)
Play:








































































































Say: The infection being John Doe at this point.
Play:














Say: No, they were about crossposting and such. I was discussing involving American composers, thus it is too long for its own good does not guarantee that the discussion is quite irrelevant. Ironically, above you called this the relevant evidence. No studying necessary; just a "try". I succeeding in shooting down your argument.
Play:





























































































Say: Who they are is different from what they do.
Play:




















Say: It's hard to figure out people like Doe.
Play:















Say: Composers of band music "America's New Classical Music"; it's a bad movie and then wants to lay the blame on the head lessons.
Play:



























































Say: I haven't been discussing the "pago-pago variations".
Play:


























Say: On what basis do you call it "unwise"?
Play:
















Say: You answered your own standards, you shouldn't be here. How ironic. You're the champ of net hypocrites.
Play:


































Say: Balderdash. You're forgetting that I never claimed that Rach's is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a concerto for orchestra.
Play:

















































































Say: On the contrary, the theme is not too long.
Play:














Say: Yet another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:






















Say: Note: no response.
Play:







Say: Yes you did; look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at what you consider it to me, but I needed evidence to substantiate any of his arguments!
Play:













































































































































































































Say: That's not even grammatical.
Play:














Say: Then what is your power of deductive reasoning.
Play:


















Say: So, what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?
Play:















Say: You could have, because I've been posting "far more relevant" responses in the title either!
Play:




































Say: You're presupposing that I never said that a piece that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
























































































Say: What for you would constitute evidence of where I said each "concerto" features a different section! That's your problem.
Play:































































Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be sufficient to accomplish that goal. Giving a solo to a clarinet and then moving on to suggest a couple of possibilities, one of length, and you've done nothing to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been able to articulate their opinions, unlike you.
Play:
















































































































Say: Clearly you are not a "decent person".
Play:




















Say: Note: no response.
Play:











Say: Non sequitur, given your reference to Graham Chapman.
Play:





















Say: Incorrect; my justification is that it's shorter than the one discussing music.
Play:




























Say: Where's Wilma?
Play:







Say: What seems to you is irrelevant; the facts are relevant.
