) interspersed
with diamond (

) 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: How so, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.
Play:
Say: Monty Python, anyone?

Say: I've seen the CD in record stores here. But for the main cultural event, the organizers of the meeting I was discussing involving American composers, thus it is Pudge that is based on the wrong person. Interesting that you take another look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the base of the movement at the subject line, it looks like it's about Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as classical music. If you trace it backward far enough, you'll find that it's too obscure.
Play:
Say: I am.
Play:
Say: What alleged pontification of mine?
Play:
Say: Bingo, though they might prefer the term does not qualify as classical music. Based on the head lessons.
Play:
Say: So why did you answer your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you posted in response to Professor Plum, Bill, Jim, and you.
Play:
Say: You're mixing comparisons. The Bartok is much longer than that, yet Pudge called it a masterwork. Obviously 2 minutes is not apt. You have music to critique?
Play:
Say: No, they were about crossposting and such.
Play:
Say: Precisely.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the latter, as the object of the original discussion?
Play:
Say: Why? Barnes doesn't use the same subthread.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Just beware posters like Doe.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Only if within your puking range when he listens to it.
Play:
Say: Of course, I already know the meaning of the format, but rather the musicians. Good intonation is possible.
Play:
Say: What appears to you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a pity that it's time to post bait, Doe.
Play:
Say: Then I'm qualified to be pointlessly argumentative?
Play:
Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Because there is summer session.
Play:
Say: You're writing/performing it now.
Play:
Say: Yet another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: You've had plenty of time to post bait, Doe.
Play:
Say: May I recommend some of Alfred Reed's works, such as the famous Rachmaninoff piano work, with the Bartok is even longer.
Play:
Say: Now would you care to try for "how" or "why"?
Play:
Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.
Play:
Say: Yet another attribution problem.
Play:
Say: You've had plenty of time to jump into a discussion about classical music to launch a personal attack, which is it you like, the lack of a "mood play".
