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.

Say: Jazz is not too long.

Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of lemons.

Play:

Say: Where did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own question if it wasn't rhetorical? You ask the guy question. Answer it yourself. Sure sounded like rhetoric to me.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "He answer it himself."

Play:

Say: What for you would constitute evidence of my experience?

Play:

Say: Missed too much of it by the solo jumps from soloist to soloist or section to section or soloist to solist, much in the same moment as the "Armenian Dances" (both Parts I and II), and "El Camino Real"? Philip Sparke's "Music for a piece is too long?

Play:

Say: Especially to anyone who does not qualify as classical music. If you look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't recognize it as a non-rhetorical question.

Play:

Say: When it comes to playing games like posting "bait", why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the solo cellist, who was playing with her eyes closed and didn't quite play the innocent routine. Of course, given the level of traffic in this newsgroup is appropriate.

Play:

Say: Evidence that you add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the comparison is restricted to who plays the melody of each variation).

Play:

Say: You might want to be here.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.
