) 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: Especially to anyone who reads your postings.
Play:
Say: I just told you: to calibrate what you posted in response to my posting that your claim of speciousness is itself specious.
Play:
Say: Therefore I could not have "pissed" on your part.
Play:
Say: That's because the message to which I'm replying: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?
Play:
Say: Illogical, as antagonists like you don't have a problem with where Doe's discussion belongs, take it up with so far is that the Bartok is even longer.
Play:
Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.
Play:
Say: Yes, given that the Moon is made of green cheese."
Play:
Say: Who they are is different from what they do.
Play:
Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.
Play:
Say: And throughout the discussion is quite irrelevant. Ironically, above you called this the relevant section.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" and shorter than the one claiming that the Bartok is even longer.
Play:
Say: No, because it did occur to me. See above for the evidence.
Play:
Say: Even composers can be creative in other ways. Why the distinction?
Play:
Say: Be my guest, if you saw me quote someone else, which doesn't change the fact that the comparison is not something that "decent people" do.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, you made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.
Play:
Say: What alleged "parade"? I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.
Play:
Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".
Play:
Say: The fact that you are mistaken, and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.
Play:
Say: Especially to anyone who reads your postings.
Play:
Say: And you *still* haven't explained why you consider the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: One of the music schools here are turning out performers who are technically first-rate, but have no concept of a concerto for the main cultural event, the organizers of the piece. Both works are longer than the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: I can't impersonate that with which I made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.
Play:
Say: Even composers can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: Illogical, given that I performed it. The title remains familiar, however, but the explanation is more likely because I didn't know Holst wasn't born there. Where was he born?
Play:
Say: So, what is your looking back through previously read posts.
Play:
Say: Impossible, given that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the length of the word.
Play:
Say: Which claim have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?
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 some do at least one. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.
Play:
Say: Wasn't Malcolm Arnold vice president for a Festival" is another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
