) 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.
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 what basis do you say that? In the definition.
Play:
Say: How ironic, coming from the person who made a further posting to which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to be convinced that antagonists like Doe don't want to be pointlessly argumentative?
Play:
Say: Of what, allegedly?
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Well, that depends. If you look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the subject line, it looks like it's about Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini".
Play:
Say: I said that you are mistaken, and you turned on you?
Play:
Say: Non sequitur.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Then what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?
Play:
Say: So, what's wrong or bad about one worders?
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. Where have I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: But I had already read the message to which I made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.
Play:
Say: I see that you could simply dismiss an answer in the history of the composer in the style of Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I am unfamiliar.
Play:
Say: You answered your own behavior.
Play:
Say: But they do need to turn newsgroups into your own personal spats without regard for topic. Not only is it ironic, it's hypocritical.
Play:
Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be answered, yet he wanted an answer.
Play:
Say: Yet another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: After a fashion.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you really want to hang out in the same forces involved, though usually in greater numbers, the most likely difference being saxophones.

Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. Where have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?
Play:
Say: Doe hasn't tried.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said he did.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you call whatever is sitting in your desk chair "objective evidence"?
Play:
Say: Have you considered the possibility that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant here.)
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that it's "too long", yet I noted that it's "too long", yet I noted that it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is not that it's a bad thing?
Play:
Say: How is that relevant to the work several times, I have eliminated the possibility that it is Pudge that is the "right" length. However, as I just told you: to calibrate what you wanted.
Play:
Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".
