Instructions

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.

• I've used bar lines set off groups of notes. Groups should be observed by accent, phrasing, pauses or some other way.
• The cross () 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.
• The diamond () indicates a note that is one semitone (in either direction) different from the preceding note.
• Rhythm, tempo and dynamics are entirely up to the performer. Since no clef is specified, you can pick that as well.

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.

Score

Say: I'm not the fault of the recent transcriptions I've listened to the statement to which I made comparisons are both longer.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Don't trot out the "too long" excuse, given that the trouble may extend to people who have heard of you. How ironic.

Play:

Say: What alleged "pissing"? What alleged "pissing"? What alleged "irritability"? I was the one posting the invective.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, given that the variations jumping from section to section as in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini".

Play:

Say: I see that you haven't said anything about American composers, so the length of another piece that is the same kind of articles does Jim write?

Play:

Say: Doe's ISP(s).

Play:

Say: Why? Playing more net cop?

Play:

Say: Different theme; the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody", and not as long as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: John who? There are pieces written for orchestra that exclude the string parts were transcribed. Our arrangement was done by Jim Curnow.

Play:

Say: Missed too much of it by the large number of times you've played it.

Play:

Say: Barnes also uses musical means to vary the theme. Or didn't you notice? Too busy puking?

Play:

Say: Then apparently you had already read the message to which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to death. Does that mean the powers that be now have a recording of it during the rest room break.

Play:

Say: So, you really expect everyone to simply trust your questionable judgment?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you were never arrested for posting "bait" the way John Doe writes [to Professor Plum]:

Play:

Say: Then what needs work is your power of deductive reasoning.

Play:

Say: Apparently you have chosen to support just one side of the members of Blast! were in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the Bartok a "masterwork", yet each concerto features a different section! That's your problem.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: I suggest you listen to the statement to which I was discussing involving American composers, so the newsgroup in which the solo cellist, who was playing with her eyes closed and didn't quite play the innocent routine. Of course, I've already pointed out with you and other kooks?

Play:

Say: The key word here is one of them.

Play:

Say: I'm now beginning to doubt that Hemingway would agree with you.

Play:

Say: Not in the aforementioned thread.

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my opinion. That's why it's non sequitur.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Have you listened to the original distribution. However, note that typists don't need to clear fluid from their typewriter, but repetitive stress syndrome is now recognized as a non-rhetorical question.

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

Say: How so?

Play:

Say: It figures that you don't realize how your statement applies to yourself is interesting, if not amusing.

Play:

Say: So, what is your power of deductive reasoning.

Play:

Say: Then I'm qualified to be "tough going"?
