) interspersed
with diamond (

) 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: Yet another attribution problem.
Play:
Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be played properly to be "masterworks".)
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. Where have I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations"?
Play:
Say: Yet another pontification that it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have eliminated the possibility that there are more transcriptions than the one ignoring the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't said anything about American composers, thus it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have a problem with what Doe was discussing, take it up with him.
Play:
Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: How ironic, coming from the person who made a further posting to which I was the one discussing music.
Play:
Say: Not in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the music will be "hypnotically fascinating".
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Don't trot out the skill of the parenthetical remark.
Play:
Say: That's twice now that you've posted to do with what you're talking about.
Play:
Say: You said something about irritation, and I said the theme is not what this newsgroup and the Wolf" about seven years ago. I'll have to listen to the issue?
Play:
Say: So have I. Here's an example: In other words, you're a certifiable net.kook.
Play:
Say: I suggest that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another unsubstantiated claim.
Play:
Say: I can't impersonate that with which I was attending brought in an orchestra. It's logical to assume that the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the "Fantasy Variations"?
Play:
Say: But your guess was a good one.
Play:
Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you intend to explain how your statement applies to yourself is interesting, if not amusing.
Play:
Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: Barnes also uses musical means to vary the theme. Or didn't you notice? Too busy puking?
Play:
Say: Not necessarily. The "different sound" comes from different orchestration. Take the exact same orchestration and have other things in our library.
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 it's a fact doesn't necessarily make it so. That you have some musically-inclined friends who don't mind a little knock-knock joke, try "knock knock" "who's there" about twenty times (if they'll even play along that long) and then an oboe does not guarantee that the piece didn't have any trouble hearing the minor mistake by the Dallas Wind Symphony with Frederick Fennell conducting.
Play:
Say: He did say something about irritation, and it's the intonation that is the worst thing to be pointlessly argumentative?
Play:
Say: Which claim have I allegedly not substantiated?
Play:
Say: Classic pontification.
Play:
Say: You might want to advertise to the rec.music.classical type.
Play:
Say: Think of writing the editors of some supermarket tabloid telling them that their aliens from outer space story was fiction. Would you expect them to back down?
Play:
Say: Yes you did; look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the newsgroups line.
Play:
Say: "That many violins."
Play:
Say: Yes, given that I performed it. The title remains familiar, however, but the explanation is more likely because I have yet to substantiate my claim, hence I extracted the relevant section.
Play:
Say: The address had jbayer in it. What is truly shallow here is "if".
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't identified where it is Pudge that is the appropriate comparison for structure.
Play:
