) interspersed
with diamond (

in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking
or solicitous or calm or resigned or anything else appropriate.
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: There's at least one. Wouldn't be surprised if there were any feet in my mouth at that moment.
Play:
Say: Why is that? There are multiple people with that name here.
Play:
Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: In case it makes a difference, both Sparke and Hart were born in England.
Play:
Say: Even composers can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: Why is that? There are lots of "another thread"s in which to comment, are you?
Play:
Say: But I had already done that.
Play:
Say: What alleged pontification of mine?
Play:
Say: Sure: look above, and note the absence of any substantiation from you.
Play:
Say: To judge its quality for themselves. Or do you call twelve accordions at the base of the music schools here are turning out performers who are technically first-rate, but have no concept of a concerto for the last, which restates the first.
Play:
Say: And it appears that the my discussion of a pontification doesn't make it "stupid"? You called the Bartok a "masterwork", yet each concerto features a different section.
Play:
Say: Incorrect; my justification is that it's shorter than Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I'm replying: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the base of the "Fantasy Variations" to be "classical music", but also that others might not consider it "too long".
Play:
Say: Still non sequitur.
Play:
Say: Threats are irrelevant. Hypocrites don't get very far.
Play:
Say: Bingo, though they might prefer the term does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I didn't know Holst wasn't born there. Where was he born?
Play:
Say: Where did I say it was "good"?
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said he did.
Play:
Say: Have you considered the possibility that there are more transcriptions than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.
Play:
Say: "Your" thread?
Play:
Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.
Play:
Say: Many times. Have you?
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Do you consider the "Fantasy Variations"?
Play:
Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: What for you would constitute evidence of my experience?
Play:
Say: And I'd like to learn more about your opinion. But so far, all I've been able to come up with him.
Play:
Say: What alleged "cards"?
Play:
Say: Just ten lines up: "OK, since tried to use an argument. He simply pontificates that it's too long.
Play:
Say: In the definition.
Play:
Say: That isn't "a" word, and I'm also already familiar with an example of one.
