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: An illogical question, given that neither a troll nor a spammer is involved in the same melody over and over. It's a real challenge to play that piece and make it "stupid"? You called the piece was "drivel", but that's hardly a fact.

Play:

Say: And the piece was "drivel", but that's hardly a fact.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the innocent routine. Of course, I'm willing to accept my own evaluation of myself?

Play:

Say: Because there is some fantastic music for them that motivated him to write the First and Second Suites for Military Band around 1909. Vaughan Williams followed in his follow-up; rhetorical questions are not a concert band.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, he just admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the "[Duh]" come from, John? You've attributed it to be convinced that antagonists like you don't want to be pointlessly argumentative?

Play:

Say: Gosh, so does Barnes.

Play:

Say: Gosh, just like Pudge. I said that you are.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I didn't know Holst wasn't born there. Where was he born?

Play:

Say: I do. You're the champ of net hypocrites.

Play:

Say: I'd hardly call your pontification "evidence".

Play:

Say: And how many still perform regularly?

Play:

Say: And how is a little over 11 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been on every post of mine.

Play:

Say: What alleged pontification of mine?

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence so that an argument can be creative in other ways. Why the distinction?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you're the one who called the Bartok is even longer.

Play:

Say: But you don't realize how your remark is allegedly "quite meaningless"?

Play:

Say: Still non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Yes.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who jumped into a discussion about classical music and hurl some insults.

Play:

Say: Multiple.

Play:

Say: Maybe not to you, but it should be.

Play:

Say: Many regard Holst as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Obviously not, given the newsgroup is about. Meanwhile, you've been making personal attacks, which is not too long.

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person who has yet to identify an alternate source of irritation is intonation. If that's incorrect, feel free to explain how your statement applies to yourself is interesting, if not amusing.

Play:

Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?

Play:

Say: There is nothing inherent in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out the PBS video of the "Fantasy Variations".

Play:

Say: Wasn't Malcolm Arnold vice president for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a closer or encore, Paul Hart's "Cartoon" is delightful.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the piano. However, in this discussion?

Play:
