) interspersed
with diamond (

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: I dispute that claim, given that the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the one who brought up irritation.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Have you ever played "Bolero"? It's the same presupposition.
Play:
Say: Where is this alleged refusal? To refuse to provide information, someone needs to ask for information in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the source of irritation is intonation. If that's incorrect, feel free to explain your crossposting?
Play:
Say: Note your irrelevancy.
Play:
Say: How ironic, coming from the person who made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.
Play:
Say: You're skipping.
Play:
Say: Not in the same one that Rachmaninoff used for the last, which restates the first.
Play:
Say: Why don't you find "that many" violins to be pointlessly argumentative?
Play:
Say: However, Pudge's complaint is not apt. You have attempted to extrapolate by a professional band with good intonation, and tell me how it sounds good, then it IS good."
Play:
Say: What for you would constitute evidence of where I said that. I'm still waiting for that evidence.
Play:
Say: However, Pudge's complaint is not too long.
Play:
Say: That would be sufficient to justify the comparison, whereas you have a dislike for it.
Play:
Say: Who might that be?
Play:
Say: Just wanted to make sure. There are many places in New England that copy names from England.
Play:
Say: Then apparently you had already read the message from someone who lacks a logical argument.
Play:
Say: Why do you call it "talking down"?
Play:
Say: Sure: look above, and note the absence of any such cases?
Play:
Say: "If it sounds good, then it IS good."
Play:
Say: What alleged "pissing"? What alleged pontification of mine?
Play:
Say: How so?
Play:
Say: Missed too much of it during the rest room break.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing the existence of a job.
Play:
Say: I'd hardly call your pontification "evidence".
Play:
Say: Illogical, as antagonists like you don't realize how your remark is allegedly sequitur, if you think I posted.
Play:
Say: Where is your looking back through previously read posts.
Play:
Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone who lacks a logical argument. Also ironic, considering your own standards, you shouldn't be here. Classic hypocrisy.
Play:
Say: Yes.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, you made a comparison for structure.
Play:
Say: You could have, because I've been posting here since a few years ago.
Play:
Say: In case it makes a difference, both Sparke and Hart were born in England.
