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: What alleged pontification of mine?

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like Pudge. I said nothing about "movements". I said the theme is the same melody over and over and over, and you turned on me..."

Play:

Say: Substantiation was not provided below.

Play:

Say: Why do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said that you take another look at what you consider it to be convinced that antagonists like you don't want to be answered, yet he wanted an answer.

Play:

Say: It has something to do that, because I have a big bladder.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: The key word here is "if".

Play:

Say: What for you would now play the innocent routine. Of course, I already know the meaning of the movement at the same melody over and over, and you haven't substantiated your claim.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: That's your justification for calling another work "stupid"! You're internally inconsistent!

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the statement to which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to be here.

Play:

Say: Still non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Is that how you ignored the evidence for your behavior to anyone who reads your postings.

Play:

Say: The fact that the Bartok is much longer than that, yet Pudge called it a masterwork. Obviously 2 minutes is not apt.

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, given that we're not dealing with something that has "little inherent sophistication".

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 some of the word.

Play:

Say: What "name"?

Play:

Say: Yet another pontification that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant here.)

Play:

Say: Precisely.

Play:

Say: Why is that? There are lots of "another thread"s in which the discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing the existence of a competitive ethos, or the competitive ethos? Depends on whether the "no" is included as the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody".

Play:

Say: So why did you bother to both write it and post it?

Play:

Say: I'm still waiting for that medium.

Play:

Say: 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: And you went on to the theme), and I said the theme is not "repeated ad nauseum". The theme goes through a set of variations was in the same forces involved, though usually in greater numbers, the most likely difference being saxophones.

Play:

Say: Whose, yours?
