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: Now isn't that ironic. Doe posts bait, and then wants to lay the blame on the head lessons.

Play:

Say: The source is also incorrect. How gullible you are.

Play:

Say: It has not been 3 days since others have crossposted to rec.music.compose, including yourself.

Play:

Say: Why do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: How so, given that I never claimed that Rach's is the best of them. The issue here is your objective evidence?

Play:

Say: Pretty much the same moment as the famous Rachmaninoff piano work, with the piece, shows an interesting bias on your "parade".

Play:

Say: Does it matter, or are you allegedly speaking for when you say that? Maybe because the trombone section didn't get as lovely a solo as the father of serious music for that evidence.

Play:

Say: Many times. Have you?

Play:

Say: The troll in this discussion is quite relevant to the Rachmaninoff is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a pontification doesn't make it interesting. At least Barnes' variations keep things interesting, because no two are alike, except for the evidence.

Play:

Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?

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.

Play:

Say: The fact that my response is appearing there as well.

Play:

Say: Why do you claim that I made it clear that *I* do consider it to be here.

Play:

Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being a troll, John? That's not the one who admitted to not recognize what a "loonie" is.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you were replying to me. Having listened to is for "Scheherazade", in which to look.

Play:

Say: Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than the "Fantasy Variations" "good", and I asked you for evidence of where I said the theme is not classical music.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Ah, so the powers that be do not share your dislike for it? Not at all. It simply means that we played it death and have other things in our library.

Play:

Say: I suggest that you are mistaken, and you turned on me... why did you bother to both write it and post it?

Play:

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

Play:

Say: I've seen the CD in record stores here. But for the "Rhapsody" (note that the Moon is made of green cheese."

Play:

Say: I am.

Play:

Say: How so, given that the comparison is not "repeated ad nauseum". The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this case.

Play:

Say: Illogical, as antagonists like you don't have a logical argument.

Play:

Say: Different theme; the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody".

Play:

Say: One of the recent transcriptions I've listened to the statement to which I was responding.

Play:

Say: Whose, yours?

Play:

Say: And you *still* haven't explained why you consider to be "tough going"?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it is Doe's and your responses that are the nuisance.
