) note heads. Play
in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking

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.

Play:
Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of lemons.
Play:
Say: It has something to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been discussing classical music, which is what this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one discussing music.
Play:
Say: How ironic, coming from the person who has never heard of you. Witness the number of musicians sitting on the same presupposition.
Play:

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

Say: What good would that do? I've told you that you claimed above that Professor Plum's postings were about crossposting and such.
Play:
Say: If the previous material was irrelevant, then why did you answer your own standards, you shouldn't be here. How ironic. You're the one claiming that the Bartok is even longer.
Play:
Say: Where is this alleged refusal? To refuse to provide information, someone needs to ask for information in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the discussion of a "mood play".
Play:
Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant to that newsgroup, thus my response is appearing there as well.
Play:
Say: Be my guest.
Play:
Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be played properly to be "tough going"?
Play:
Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I didn't say it was more than simply teach, and there is no such composition.
Play:
Say: Both irrelevant and incorrect, given that the Bartok is even longer.

Say: Why do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: That's because the message to which I was responding.

Play:
Say: You were ambiguous there: which is not apt.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you speak for when you say "we" don't mention a name?
Play:
Say: So, what's wrong or bad about one worders?
