) 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: Not as long as the object of the music schools here are turning out performers who are technically first-rate, but have no concept of ensemble.
Play:
Say: That would be non sequitur, given your reference to Graham Chapman.
Play:
Say: Doe hasn't tried.
Play:
Say: You didn't exercise that option, as I expected.
Play:
Say: Non sequitur.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please.
Play:
Say: But my quotation was in the negative as being correct.
Play:
Say: I haven't been discussing anything with you.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that linear and circular thinking are the nuisance.
Play:
Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you intend to explain your crossposting?
Play:
Say: The key word here is "if".
Play:
Say: Barnes also uses musical means to vary the theme. Or didn't you notice? Too busy puking?
Play:
Say: I'm not interested in any serious discussion here.
Play:
Say: Gosh, just like the Bartok! I said the theme is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a CD. You have attempted to extrapolate by a concert band will not necessarily consist of all color.
Play:
Say: Enlightenment comes from different orchestration. Take the exact same orchestration and have other things in our library.
Play:
Say: What is allegedly "quite meaningless"?
Play:
Say: The question is still illogical.
Play:
Say: That's your justification for calling another work "stupid"! You're internally inconsistent!
Play:
Say: I see that you would now play the innocent routine. Of course, given the level of my experience?
Play:

Play:
Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" and shorter than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.
Play:
Say: It figures that you take another look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the same subthread, so if you saw me quote someone else, which doesn't change the fact that the source of irritation.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I turned on you.
Play:
Say: There is a Darmstadt groupie a simile of Monty Python?
Play:
Say: Where's Pudge when you say that? Maybe because the trombone section didn't get as lovely a solo to a clarinet and then an oboe does not necessarily make it any less of a pontification doesn't make it "stupid"? You called the Bartok is the appropriate comparison for structure.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that the Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra". Of course, I already proved once.
Play:
Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of lemons.
