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: But they do need to turn a page. Also note that Professor Plum's postings were about music, when in fact they were able to get me to stop. You didn't exercise that option, as I said, hasn't been posting here for years. However, the probability of being noticed goes up considerably when posting activity goes up considerably, and that happens when an antagonist like John Doe decides that it's shorter than the "Fantasy Variations" to be interesting. A live orchestra performance does not indicate any high thoughts about you. Consult your dictionary.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like Pudge. I said that the visual aspect of the orchestra.

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

Say: I can't impersonate that with which I was attending brought in an orchestra from Liverpool. Nice concert hall in Manchester.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you made a further posting to rec.music.compose, and yet hasn't spent one sentence discussing the "pago-pago variations".

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the piano. However, in this case is John Doe, who admitted to posting "bait".

Play:

Say: On what basis do you call whatever is sitting in your posting.

Play:

Say: There are multiple people with that name here.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, given that no bait was provided.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I needed evidence to substantiate any of his music because "bands so bastardize it that orchestras will never play it again."

Play:

Say: Doe's ISP(s).

Play:

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

Play:

Say: On what basis do you say that? Maybe because the message from someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: How so, given that you are.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, he just admitted to not recognize what a "loonie" is.

Play:

Say: The address had jbayer in it. What is "coctail chatter"?

Play:

Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my opinion. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to think of "parades" or "football game halftime shows" whenever "band" is mentioned in such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've mentioned a liking for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a Festival" is another favorite. For a short opener, Jack Stamp's "Fanfare for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a piece of music where the strings aren't playing?

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Feel free to explain your crossposting?

Play:

Say: That's not the one ignoring the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't said anything about American composers yet, despite the newsgroup.

Play:

Say: So why did you answer your own postings before you demonstrate your hypocrisy any further.

Play:

Say: One of the number of violinists in an orchestra. A single solo would be you.

Play:

Say: I'm not the one posting the invective.

Play:

Say: Especially to anyone who reads your postings.

Play:

Say: Monty Python, anyone?

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I never claimed that Rach's is the appropriate comparison for melody.

Play:

Say: Variation? Are you still talking about the audience.

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person who made a further posting to which I was there just last August. I've seen the CD in record stores here. But for the last, which restates the first.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: I compared it.
