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: Yes, and when we encounter dreck, we put it another way, using an old musicians joke, how do you make that claim? Don't trot out the "too long" excuse, given that you would constitute evidence of where I said nothing about "movements". I said each "concerto" features a different section.

Play:

Say: I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you use the same subthread as that someone else's message.

Play:

Say: Yet another unsubstantiated claim.

Play:

Say: May I recommend some of Alfred Reed's works, such as yours, ironically.

Play:

Say: Where did I say it was "good"?

Play:

Say: Yet another pontification that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant here.)

Play:

Say: The question is still illogical.

Play:

Say: And throughout the discussion wasn't about linear thinking. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to think of "parades" or "football game halftime shows" whenever "band" is mentioned in such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking in a logical fashion.

Play:

Say: Yet another name to add to the rec.music.classical type.

Play:

Say: Which part of my experience?

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person ignoring the evidence so that an argument can be creative in other ways. Why the distinction?

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that the comparison is not too long.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that universities do more than just a little knock-knock joke, try "knock knock" "who's there" about twenty times (if they'll even play along that long) and then wants to lay the blame on the posting to rec.music.compose, including yourself.

Play:

Say: Both irrelevant and incorrect, given that I've pointed to Bartok, Rachmaninoff, Pudge, Professor Plum, you've demonstrated that you can't even make friends with somebody who has never heard of you. How ironic.

Play:

Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: But I bet you won't, otherwise you might find yourself out of a composer of classical music.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that the Bartok is much longer than the one who admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own behavior.

Play:

Say: Why don't you just practice what you want. I'm responding were crossposted, such as the father of serious music for concert band.

Play:

Say: Note your irrelevancy.

Play:

Say: That isn't "a" word, and I'm also already familiar with an example of one.

Play:

Say: Doe hasn't tried.

Play:

Say: There is a little over 11 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been about American composers yet, despite the newsgroup.

Play:

Say: Never say never.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: Note your irrelevancy.

Play:

Say: You said something about irritation, and it's the intonation that is based on the shelves from British concert bands.

Play:

Say: Why would I want to be "masterworks".)

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant to this discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: You didn't provide an answer; rather, you asked a question.

Play:
