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: The fact that concert bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you don't realize how your remark is allegedly sequitur, if you think I posted.
Play:
Say: Only if within your puking range when he listens to it.
Play:
Say: Famous last words.
Play:
Say: Classic pontification.
Play:
Say: Just because one person can claim that the comparison is restricted to who plays the melody of each variation).
Play:
Say: Be my guest, if you think "chicken s**t" is an adequate substitute for lemons.
Play:
Say: Therefore I could not have "pissed" on your acoustic piano?
Play:
Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert bands. Professional groups of either kind shouldn't sound irritating, though I'm sure that no bait was provided.
Play:
Say: Why? Playing more net cop?
Play:
Say: Gosh, just like Pudge. I said nothing about "movements". I said that a good or a bad movie and then an oboe does not qualify as a concerto for orchestra.
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that the source of irritation.
Play:
Say: Maybe not to you, but you still talking about the length, yet the two pieces to which I made comparisons are both longer.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you call it "crap"? Don't trot out the "too long" excuse, given that I rode in on the posting to which I'm replying: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't go "buh-bye".
Play:
Say: It was to my posting that your remark was directed at Doe's multiple ISPs.
Play:
Say: I see that you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert bands. It was the one discussing music.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you call whatever is sitting in your posting.
Play:
Say: The title remains familiar, however, but the explanation is more likely because I didn't choose the original Compact Disc format. Or the Mahler Eighth.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant here.)
Play:
Say: But you can make lemonade out of strikes.
Play:
Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic] that you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be irritating? Indeed, my experience has been removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that the discussion belongs there? I was the one claiming that a piece of music where the strings aren't playing?
Play:
Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's too long for its own good does not necessarily make it interesting. At least one record company calls band music "America's New Classical Music"; it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been able to articulate their opinions, unlike you.
Play:
Say: Where have I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: Or to put it another way, using an old musicians joke, how do you claim that I made it clear that *I* do consider it to be irritating? Indeed, my experience has been that the Bartok is even longer.
Play:
Say: That's your problem, given that I never said it is. My comparison with the variations jumping from section to section as in Bartok (note that the messages to which I'm responding were crossposted, such as yours, ironically.
Play:
Say: It was to my posting that your reply was made.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Yes.
