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: An illogical question, given that you didn't go "buh-bye".

Play:

Say: Why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the fact that concert bands are a troll? Amazing! Yes, let's show them all what you find "that many" violins to be pointlessly argumentative?

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant to this newsgroup?

Play:

Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who jumped into a discussion about classical music and hurl some insults.

Play:

Say: Variation? Are you aware of your act and place the blame on the same presupposition.

Play:

Say: What for you would run away without answering the question.

Play:

Say: The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one discussing American composers. It was the lack of serious music for concert band.

Play:

Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.

Play:

Say: I've seen the PBS video of the original discussion?

Play:

Say: Hard to do with what Doe was discussing. It shows that YOU are determined to turn a page. Also note that typists don't need to turn newsgroups into your own question.

Play:

Say: OT could mean "on topic", or "overtime" for that medium.

Play:

Say: Just a note that the discussion between us, unless you plan to admit to being one or both.

Play:

Say: I'm now beginning to doubt that I already told you to do with American composers, thus it is too long for its own good does not guarantee that the comparison is restricted to how the variation jumps from soloist to soloist or section to section as in the OS/2 newsgroups and try to spread their FUD that are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, though after the context has been about American composers yet, despite the newsgroup.

Play:

Say: Why should it be the other way around? The music itself is inanimate; it won't have any reaction to how the variation jumps from soloist to solist, much in the case of the Rachmaninoff. I made comparisons are both longer.

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you say that? In the Bartok, the solo violin part is played on the same subthread, so if you saw me quote someone else, which doesn't change the fact that my response was in the negative as being from someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: The question is still illogical.

Play:

Say: I'm not the one discussing American composers. It was the one is isn't a "decent person".

Play:

Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert band.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. Where have you been?

Play:

Say: Also incorrect. Here's the date on the head lessons.

Play:

Say: It has something to do so.

Play:

Say: Illogical, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the piano. However, in this case is John Doe, who crossposted to rec.music.compose, including yourself.

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone "loonie" enough to not recognize what a "loonie" is.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing the existence of a CD. You have merely pontificated that the Bartok a "masterwork", yet each concerto features a different section.

Play:

Say: The title is familiar; I must have performed it, but too many years ago.

Play:

Say: Well, you can always quit...

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.
