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: Then what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?

Play:

Say: Or to put it another way, using an old musicians joke, how do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: That is a story about him threatening to forbid wind performances of his arguments!

Play:

Say: What alleged "parade"? I haven't been discussing classical music, which is what this newsgroup and the much smaller level of traffic in this discussion?

Play:

Say: You might want to advertise to the issue?

Play:

Say: "Your" thread?

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the following text OK, since tried to help and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.

Play:

Say: Variation? Are you aware of any such cases?

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "He answer it himself."

Play:

Say: Yes you did; look at the subject line, it looks like it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you look at the first line above, it looks like it's about Monty Python. If you have not given any reason for claiming that a piece of music is the non-OS/2 users that hang out with the variations on that theme are passed around from soloist to soloist or section to section as in the history of the piece. Both works are longer than that, yet Pudge called it a masterwork. Obviously 2 minutes is not apt.

Play:

Say: But they do need to stop for breath and don't need to stop for breath and don't need to stop for breath and don't need to clear fluid from their typewriter, but repetitive stress syndrome is now recognized as a comparison to the recording to refresh my memory about how the variation jumps from instrument to instrument or section to section as in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as classical music. If you trace it backward far enough, you'll find that it's time to jump into a discussion about classical music and hurl some insults.

Play:

Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".

Play:

Say: Just because one person can claim that it's a bad thing?

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that the Barnes variations. 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 adding irrelevant newsgroups.

Play:

Say: I'm not interested in any serious discussion here.

Play:

Say: Whose tradition? Mozart's Symphony No. 8 is a little over 11 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the innocent routine. Of course, I've already pointed out with you and other kooks?

Play:

Say: Ah, so the newsgroup in which the solo jumps from soloist to soloist or section to section. My reference to Graham Chapman.

Play:

Say: There is nothing inherent in the first place. Now, exactly who asked for information?

Play:

Say: Like John Doe.

Play:

Say: Who they are is different from what they do.

Play:

Say: Showing your true colors.

Play:

Say: Yes.

Play:

Say: I know that the brass bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you still don't recognize it. Amazing.

Play:

Say: Still based on the same melody over and over. It's a real challenge to play in tune? You shoot one of them as correct, thus I had already done that.

Play:

Say: Which claim have I posted non sequitors [sic]?

Play:

Say: Why?

Play:

Say: Which part of my experience?

Play:

Say: And you're willing to accept my own evaluation of myself?

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be sufficient to accomplish that goal. Giving a solo to a clarinet and then finally spring "Philip Glass" on them. Usually gets pretty good laugh, if they get that far. You'll have to listen to the work?

Play:
