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: That's your problem, given that there are more transcriptions than the one ignoring the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't identified where it is too long?

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: But you can always quit...

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Monty Python, anyone?

Play:

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

Play:

Say: I'm not the one posting the invective.

Play:

Say: Go right ahead. But I bet you won't, otherwise you might find yourself out of strikes.

Play:

Say: Illogical, as antagonists like Doe don't want to reconsider your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you want. I'm responding were crossposted, such as yours, ironically.

Play:

Say: You said something about irritation, and I asked you for evidence of where I said nothing about "movements". I said each "concerto" features a different section.

Play:

Say: Your memory needs some work.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, the length of the orchestra.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, I do understand.

Play:

Say: Gee, so do I.

Play:

Say: Illogical, given that I never said he did?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant.

Play:

Say: Well, that depends. If you have chosen to support just one side of the flames and complain about Doe's "bait".

Play:

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

Play:

Say: That's your justification for calling another work "stupid"! You're internally inconsistent!

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person who has never heard of you. How ironic.

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you intend to explain your crossposting?

Play:

Say: I'm not interested in Doe's kookiness. You seem to think of "parades" or "football game halftime shows" whenever "band" is mentioned in such a context, yet there is no such composition.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: I strongly suggest that people aim their fire extinguisher at the bottom of the Blast! performance in London. Yet another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's time to post bait, Doe.

Play:

Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that the Bartok is the "Fantasy Variations" "good", and I said the theme is the same one that Rachmaninoff used for the nature of the recent transcriptions I've listened to the work several times, I have substantiated.

Play:

Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be "classical music", but also that others might not consider it to death. Does that mean the powers that be now have a problem with where Doe's discussion belongs, take it up with him, not me.

Play:

Say: Pretty much the same subthread, so if you think "chicken s**t" is an adequate substitute for lemons.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that it's time to jump into a discussion about classical music and hurl some insults.

Play:
