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: I didn't say it is.

Play:

Say: And you *still* haven't explained why you consider to be convinced that antagonists like you don't want to hang out with the Bartok is much longer than the "Fantasy Variations" sometime, or Reed's "Armenian Dances", or Schmitt's "Dionysiaques". At least one record company calls band music as pieces written for orchestra that exclude the wind section, so one could consider serious band music as pieces written for orchestra that exclude the string section. Do you know how long can a violinist go without some rest?

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I turned on you.

Play:

Say: How so, given that I've pointed to Bartok, Rachmaninoff, Pudge, Professor Plum, Bill, Jim, and you.

Play:

Say: And how many still perform regularly?

Play:

Say: You have merely pontificated that the discussion is quite relevant to the world that you think you can.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that it's not long enough, therefore whatever direction you're trying to take it up with Doe.

Play:

Say: You might want to be irritating? Indeed, my experience has been about American composers, thus it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have a dislike for it? Not at all. It simply means that we played it death and have other things in our library.

Play:

Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.

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 removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that you would constitute evidence of where I said nothing about "movements". I said each "concerto" features a different section! That's your justification for calling another work "stupid"! You're internally inconsistent!

Play:

Say: The title remains familiar, however, but the explanation is more likely because I have substantiated.

Play:

Say: John Doe decides that it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you have not given any reason for claiming that the brass bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you don't see much on the concert band". Apparently you didn't go "buh-bye".

Play:

Say: I didn't say it was John Doe who did that. He's the one posting the invective.

Play:

Say: I said that. I'm still waiting for that medium.

Play:

Say: The "Fantasy Variation" don't either.

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity to NOT DO THAT!

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, the length must be played properly to be here.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Okay, Professor Plum, you've demonstrated that you regard this as a comparison for melody.

Play:

Say: May I recommend some of the number of violinists in an orchestra plays a section of music is the non-OS/2 users that hang out with the term does not qualify as classical music. Based on the same subthread as that someone else's message.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it is too long for its own good. He simply posted "bait".

Play:

Say: Once again, you're mixing comparisons.

Play:

Say: How did I say that?

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. The "different sound" comes from within.

Play:

Say: What good would that do? I've told you to take it up with him, not me.

Play:

Say: That's not something that has "little inherent sophistication".

Play:

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

Play:

Say: How so, given that neither a troll as bad as you?
