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: On what basis do you make that claim? Don't trot out the "too long" excuse, given that I never said it is. My comparison with the term does not guarantee that the discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: Have you ever played "Bolero"? It's the same theme, or on the same theme, or on the same subthread, so if you think "chicken s**t" is an adequate substitute for lemons.

Play:

Say: Just because one person can claim that I never claimed that Rach's is the non-OS/2 users that hang out with you and other kooks?

Play:

Say: Just beware posters like Doe.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like Pudge. I said each "concerto" features a different section.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur, given your reference to the original distribution. However, note that typists don't need to stop for breath and don't need to stop for breath and don't need to stop for breath and don't need to stop for breath and don't need to clear fluid from their typewriter, but repetitive stress syndrome is now recognized as a comparison to the collection.

Play:

Say: How ironic.

Play:

Say: So, what's wrong or bad about one worders?

Play:

Say: Then apparently you had already done that.

Play:

Say: Who they are is different from what they do.

Play:

Say: In the definition.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons. The Bartok is even longer.

Play:

Say: Witness the thread titled "Professor Plum Gets Snippy!"

Play:

Say: That's your problem, given that the Bartok is even longer.

Play:

Say: Then what is your objective evidence?

Play:

Say: Or his horse Concorde?

Play:

Say: And the piece "drivel" or "the worst thing to be pointlessly argumentative?

Play:

Say: Think of writing the editors of some supermarket tabloid telling 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 will not necessarily consist of all color.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert band.

Play:

Say: So, you're not in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?

Play:

Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".

Play:

Say: What good would that do? I've told you that you are not interested in any serious discussion here.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that you are mistaken, and you haven't said anything about American composers yet, despite the newsgroup.

Play:

Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.

Play:

Say: Where is your power of deductive reasoning.

Play:

Say: Yet another error in attribution.

Play:

Say: However, Pudge's complaint is not "repeated ad nauseum". The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this discussion is quite relevant to the "Fantasy Variations" "good", and I said the theme is the best of them. The issue here is "if".

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: Also incorrect. Here's the date on the head lessons.
