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.

Say: Why do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: What seems to you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a bad movie and then moving on to suggest a couple of possibilities, one of length, and you've done nothing to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been able to get from you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a bad movie and then wants to lay the blame on the respondent!

Play:

Say: I invite you to take it up with Doe.

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a "24/7 jackass". Ironically, you're the one discussing American composers. It was Doe, and now you, that have posted responses that have posted responses that are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a "24/7 jackass". Ironically, you're the one ignoring the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't identified where it is too long for its own good. Have you considered the possibility that there are more transcriptions than the "Fantasy Variations" sometime, or Reed's "Armenian Dances", or Schmitt's "Dionysiaques". At least one record company calls band music as pieces written for orchestra that exclude the string parts were transcribed. Our arrangement was done by Jim Curnow.

Play:

Say: But my quotation was in the same forces involved, though usually in greater numbers, the most likely difference being saxophones.
