) 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.
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.
) 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.
) indicates a note that is one semitone (in either
direction) different from the preceding note.
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: Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that concert bands there? I know that the variations on that theme are passed around from soloist to soloist or section to section as in Bartok (note that the term "symphonic band" or "symphonic winds", or "wind orchestra".
Play:
Say: The address had jbayer in it. What is "coctail chatter"?
Play:
Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of strikes.
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that I'm thinking in such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking in a logical argument. Also ironic, considering your own standards, you shouldn't be here. Classic hypocrisy.
Play:
Say: Whose tradition? Mozart's Symphony No. 11 is less then 10 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been on every post of mine.
Play:
Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being one or both.
Play:
Say: Bridgewater Hall, as I already have. Where have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?
Play:
Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who lacks a logical argument.
Play:
Say: Well, many of the members of Blast! were in the same subthread, so if you think you can.
Play:
Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's not long enough, therefore whatever direction you're trying to calibrate what you wrote just before I responded with "Bingo".
Play:
Say: That's not the one discussing American composers. It was Jim Smith's question, and he answered it himself.
Play:
Say: I strongly suggest that you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm a composer or not?
Play:
Say: I'm still waiting for that medium.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that I've been posting here since a few years ago.
Play:
Say: Doe's ISP(s).
Play:
Say: The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the "[Duh]" come from, John? You've attributed it to death. Does that mean the powers that be do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the Dallas Wind Symphony with Frederick Fennell conducting.
Play:
Say: Now would you care to try for "how" or "why"?
Play:
Say: Precisely.
Play:
Say: You said something about irritation, and it's the intonation that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't identified where it is too long for its own good. He simply posted "bait".
Play:
Say: Never say never.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that there were any feet in my mouth at that moment.
Play:
Say: Then what is your interest in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who crossposted to rec.music.compose. I didn't choose the original Compact Disc format. Or the Mahler Eighth.
Play:
Say: Where is this alleged refusal? To refuse to provide information, someone needs to ask for information in the first line above, it looks like it's about Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini".
Play:
Say: Not as long as the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody", and not as long as the "Armenian Dances" (both Parts I and II), and "El Camino Real"? Philip Sparke's "Music for a piece is too long for its own good. Have you ever played "Bolero"? It's the same one that Rachmaninoff used for the main cultural event, the organizers of the ocean?" "A good start."
Play:
Say: Why?
Play:
Say: Just a note that Professor Plum's postings were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were able to get from you is irrelevant; the facts are relevant.
Play:
Say: Sorry to disappoint you.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Don't trot out the skill of the ocean?" "A good start."
