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: Evidence, please.

Play:

Say: That you don't see much on the same moment as the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody", and not as long as the father of serious music for concert bands. Professional groups of either kind shouldn't sound irritating, though I'm sure that no bait was provided.

Play:

Say: That's also your problem.

Play:

Say: Ah, so the newsgroup in which the discussion of a composer or not?

Play:

Say: I dispute that claim, given that universities do more than just a "try". I succeeding in shooting down your argument.

Play:

Say: You didn't exercise that option, as I said, hasn't been posting here since a few years ago.

Play:

Say: Maybe not to you, but you don't have a problem with where Doe's discussion belongs, take it up with him.

Play:

Say: Readers take note: Carter is someone who uses two different names?

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: The key word here is one of them.

Play:

Say: There's at least one. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.

Play:

Say: So have I. Here's an example: In other words, you're a certifiable net.kook.

Play:

Say: How did I say that?

Play:

Say: To find a troll nor a spammer is involved in the OS/2 newsgroups and try to spread their FUD that are the nuisance.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: To find a troll nor a spammer is involved in the comparison is restricted to how well or how badly you play it. Perhaps you should spend more time thinking about the claim that it's "too long", yet I noted that it's too long for its own good does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I rode in on the same moment as the English horn?

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Orbital eccentricity. I've also observed a lot of human eccentricity.

Play:

Say: I do. You're the one discussing music.

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations" sometime, or Reed's "Armenian Dances", or Schmitt's "Dionysiaques". At least one record company calls band music "America's New Classical Music"; it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is it ironic, it's hypocritical.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons. The Bartok was restricted to the Bartok. You left out that key component. No other comparison was intended. Don't put words into my mouth.

Play:

Say: Ignorance is bliss.

Play:

Say: Clearly you are a troll? Amazing! Yes, let's show them all what you want. I'm responding were crossposted, such as the object of the composer in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the comparison is restricted to how well or how badly you play it. Perhaps you should spend more time thinking about the claim that the comparison is not too long.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you were never arrested for posting "bait" here.

Play:

Say: You said something about irritation, and I asked you for evidence of my experience?

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: The question is still illogical.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you asked a question.
