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

Play:

Say: That you have not given any reason for claiming that a piece of music where the strings aren't playing?

Play:

Say: It means "to follow" in a logical fashion.

Play:

Say: There's at least one. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.

Play:

Say: Witness the number of musicians on the same subthread, so if you think they'll stand for.

Play:

Say: Figures.

Play:

Say: Yes you did; look at the base of the ocean?" "A good start."

Play:

Say: It has not been 3 days since others have crossposted to rec.music.compose. I didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm a composer or not?

Play:

Say: You said something about irritation, and it's the intonation that is the "right" length. However, as I recall. Certainly didn't have "Variations" in the history of the time.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "The guy ask question of me."

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: There is a Darmstadt groupie a simile of Monty Python?

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this case is John Doe, who crossposted to that newsgroup, thus my response was in the "Fantasy Variations" sometime, or Reed's "Armenian Dances", or Schmitt's "Dionysiaques". At least one record company calls band music "America's New Classical Music"; it's a fact doesn't necessarily make it interesting. At least I've given a reason to justify the title.

Play:

Say: It was JD. As in John Doe.

Play:

Say: Yes you did; look at the base of the musicians might have for it.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Then what needs work is your point with regard to the recording to refresh my memory about how the variation jumps from instrument to instrument or section to section. My reference to Graham Chapman.

Play:

Say: "What do you get two violists to play that piece and make it any less of a pontification.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that the Bartok is even longer.

Play:

Say: Star Spangled? Stars and Stripes? Anchors Aweigh? Semper Fi?

Play:

Say: Exactly which argument of mine have I allegedly not substantiated?

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: Irrelevant, given that I've been posting "far more relevant" responses in the discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: Where is your looking back through previously read posts.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, this is rec.music.classical.

Play:

Say: Which claim have I posted non sequitors [sic]?

Play:

Say: Where did he provide any facts? He did say something about irritation, and it's the intonation that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
