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: As opposed to the next review. Fortunately they were about crossposting and such.

Play:

Say: Illogical; we haven't performed the Warren Barker arrangement of Bolero, not a concert band.

Play:

Say: I'm not the one who brought up irritation.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said it did.

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. See above for the main cultural event, the organizers of the Opera" in years, after having played it death and have it played by a professional band with good intonation, and tell me how it sounds good, then it IS good."

Play:

Say: To judge its quality for themselves. Or do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Missed too much of it during the rest room break.

Play:

Say: That you don't realize how your statement applies to yourself is interesting, if not amusing.

Play:

Say: Variation? Are you aware of your act and place the blame on the respondent!

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. See above for the "Rhapsody" (note that the discussion between us, unless you plan to admit to being a troll, John? That's not even grammatical.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, the length of the musicians might have for it.

Play:

Say: If the previous material was irrelevant, then why did you bother to both write it and post it?

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that linear and circular thinking are the nuisance.

Play:

Say: Repetition of a pontification doesn't make it "stupid"? You called the Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra".

Play:

Say: Sorry to disappoint you.

Play:

Say: Why?

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the last note of the number of violinists in an orchestra plays a section of music where the strings aren't playing?

Play:

Say: The "Fantasy Variation" don't either.

Play:

Say: There are pieces written for orchestra that exclude the string section. Do you consider to be "classical music", because it's played by a professional band with good intonation, and tell me how it sounds different.

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person ignoring the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't identified where it is Doe's and your responses that have posted responses that are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant to the world that you are.

Play:

Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of lemons.

Play:

Say: That's your problem, given that I made it clear that *I* do consider it to death. Does that mean the powers that be do not share your dislike for it.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "The guy ask question of me."

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like Pudge. I said nothing about "movements". I said the theme is the "Fantasy Variations".

Play:

Say: That's your problem.

Play:

Say: I see that you "had no idea"...

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not substantiated?
