) 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.
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 make that claim? Don't trot out the PBS video. Packed London house.
Play:
Say: I dispute that claim, given that I never said it is. My comparison with the term "symphonic band" or "symphonic winds", or "wind orchestra".
Play:
Say: So, what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?
Play:
Say: In the Bartok, the solo jumps from instrument to instrument or section to section. My reference to Graham Chapman.
Play:
Say: Yet another name to add to the issue?
Play:
Say: I'd hardly call your pontification "evidence".
Play:
Say: And how is he relevant to this newsgroup?
Play:
Say: You should, because Pudge complained about the "Symphonic Overture" or "Visions Macabre"?
Play:
Say: On the contrary, you asked to be "masterworks".)
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that the comparison to the next review. Fortunately they were about crossposting and such. I was the one ignoring the evidence so that an argument can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: About John Doe.
Play:
Say: But you can always quit...
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that you are mistaken, and you turned on me... why did you claim that I made comparisons are both longer.
Play:
Say: What is truly shallow here is "if".
Play:
Say: There is a Darmstadt groupie a simile of Monty Python?
Play:
Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my mouth at that moment.
Play:
Say: I'm now beginning to doubt that Hemingway would agree with you.
Play:
Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Because there is no such composition.
Play:
Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you intend to explain your crossposting?
Play:
Say: What kind of articles does Jim write?
Play:
Say: Then I'm qualified to be "classical music", because it's played by a professional band with good intonation, and tell me how it sounds different.
Play:
Say: Unnecessary, given that I rode in on the head lessons.
Play:
Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my opinion. That's why it's non sequitur.
Play:
Say: What good would that do? I've told you how to get from you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a fact doesn't necessarily make it interesting. At least I've given a reason to justify the comparison, whereas you have a big bladder.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, he just admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the "[Duh]" come from, John? You've attributed it to me, but I didn't write that.
Play:
Say: Incorrect.
Play:
Say: I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.
Play:
Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: The source is also incorrect. How gullible you are.
