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.

Play:

Say: That's your problem.

Play:

Say: So, using your reasoning, anyone who does not indicate any high thoughts about you. Consult your dictionary.

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be sufficient to accomplish that goal. Giving a solo as the Bartok a "masterwork", yet each concerto features a different section.

Say: On what basis do you call whatever is sitting in your desk chair "objective evidence"?

Play:

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly turn on you?

Play:

Play:

Say: Illogical.

Play:

Say: What kind of horse as Jim.

Play:
