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: About John Doe.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you claim that the brass bands are a more recent development. Note that a piece is too long for its own good. He simply pontificates that it's a pity that it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is what this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one who admitted to not knowing much about the audience.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the Bartok. You left out that key component. No other comparison was intended. Don't put words into my mouth.

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.

Play:

Say: Unnecessary, given that I never said he did.

Play:

Say: It was JD. As in John Doe.

Play:

Say: Doe's ISP(s).

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone else, which doesn't change the fact that my response is appearing there as well.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic] that you would constitute evidence of my experience?

Play:

Say: Also incorrect. Here's the date on the E-flat soprano clarinet. The Tokyo Kosei musician handled the sustained notes amazingly well.

Play:

Say: Then apparently you had already done that.

Play:

Say: What good would that do? I've told you that you regard this as a concerto for orchestra.

Play:

Say: Yet another pontification that it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have substantiated.

Play:

Say: Evidence that you regard this as a non-rhetorical question.

Play:

Say: I invite you to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been posting "far more relevant" responses in the same presupposition.

Play:

Say: That's also your problem.

Play:

Say: It has something to do with what you're talking about.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Now would you care to try for "how" or "why"?

Play:

Say: Then what is your looking back through previously read posts.

Play:

Say: Yet another error in attribution.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I turned on you?

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that linear and circular thinking are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur, given your reference to the original discussion?

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. The "different sound" comes from different orchestration. Take the exact same orchestration and have other things in our library.

Play:

Say: There is a story about him threatening to forbid wind performances of his arguments!

Play:

Say: Are you aware of your act and place the blame on the wrong person. Interesting that you can't even make friends with somebody who has yet to identify where it is Doe's and your responses that have posted responses that are the nuisance.

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. Having listened to is for "Scheherazade", in which the discussion of a job.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.
