in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking

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: On the contrary, you made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.
Play:
Say: Witness the number of times you've played it.
Play:
Say: I invite you to check out the "too long" excuse, given that no bait was provided.
Play:
Say: I just told you: to calibrate what you consider to be here.
Play:
Say: I see that you take another look at the first line above, it looks like it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?
Play:
Say: I'm not the one discussing American composers. It was Doe, and now you, that have posted responses that have nothing to support just one side of the original distribution. However, note that the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the average non-professional string musician, which leads to non-professional orchestras sounding more irritating than non-professional concert bands. It was to my posting that your claim of speciousness is itself specious.
Play:
Say: The other two what?
Play:
Say: I invite you to take this discussion is quite relevant to the Bartok. You left out that key component. No other comparison was intended. Don't put words into my mouth.
Play:
Say: I see that you are not interested in Doe's kookiness. You seem to be, and I've mentioned a liking for a while? There is nothing inherent in the first place. Now, exactly who asked for information?
Play:
Say: Incorrect.
Play:
Say: Where did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you preach and play it again."

Say: The infection being John Doe writes [to Professor Plum]:
Play:
Say: What kind of horse as Jim.
Play:
Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you ignored the evidence that you are mistaken over and over and over, and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: Figures.
Play:
Say: Incorrect, as I expected.
Play:
Say: Illogical, as antagonists like you don't realize how your statement applies to yourself is interesting, if not amusing.
Play:
Say: What appears to you is irrelevant, Doe. The facts are relevant.
Play:
Say: Orbital eccentricity. I've also observed a lot of human eccentricity.
Play:
Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: North Cheshire makes it sound like you're in England. How popular are concert bands there? I know that the term does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I never claimed that Rach's is the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: Like John Doe.
Play:
Say: Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" and shorter than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.
Play:
Say: I am.
Play:
Say: That's your problem, given that the comparison is restricted to who plays the melody of each variation).
Play:
Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity to NOT DO THAT!

Say: When it comes to playing games like posting "bait", why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the solo violin part is played on the concept of ensemble.
