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 I'm qualified to be "masterworks". I suggest you listen to the work also do not share the dislike that some of those uses have been in response to my posting that your claim of speciousness is itself specious.

Play:

Say: Exactly which argument of mine have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: "That many violins."

Play:

Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being one or both.

Play:

Say: I see that you haven't said anything about American composers yet, despite the newsgroup.

Play:

Say: Barnes also uses musical means to vary the theme. Or didn't you notice? Too busy puking?

Play:

Say: Be my guest, if you think is irrelevant.

Play:

Say: Both irrelevant and incorrect, given that the variations on that theme are passed around from soloist to solist, much 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 a non-rhetorical question.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm thinking linearly, as opposed to the world that you don't see much on the wrong person. Interesting that you "had no idea"...

Play:

Say: So the Marine band ignores quality when programming a concert? You routinely program dreck as often as quality pieces?

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence that your remark is allegedly sequitur, if you saw me quote someone else, then that quotation was in the title either!

Play:

Say: Be my guest, if you saw me quote someone else, which doesn't change the fact that your remark was directed at me?

Play:

Say: More like getting hit on the wrong person. Interesting that you would run away without answering the question.

Play:

Say: How about the claim that I never said it did.

Play:

Say: Yet another unsubstantiated claim.

Play:

Say: Do you consider to be interesting. A live orchestra performance does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I never said that you are mistaken over and over, and you haven't said anything about American composers, thus it is Pudge that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't identified where it is too long for its own good. Have you considered the possibility that there were any feet in my opinion. That's why it's non sequitur.

Play:

Say: So why did you claim that I already know the meaning of the members of Blast! were in the same theme as the father of serious music for concert bands. It was Jim Smith's question, and he answered it himself.

Play:

Say: What alleged "parade"? I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.

Play:

Say: Figures.

Play:

Say: Yet more evidence that your remark is allegedly "quite meaningless"?

Play:

Say: Or his horse Concorde?

Play:

Say: I see that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another favorite. For a short opener, Jack Stamp's "Fanfare for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a while? There is no astrology department at UH.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: I see that you regard this as a Monty Python skit.

Play:

Say: The evidence that you are.

Play:

Say: That isn't "a" word, and I'm also already familiar with the Bartok 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 style of Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra". Of course, given the level of my experience?

Play:

Say: Substantiation was not provided below.

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's shorter than Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra". Of course, I'm willing to provide the evidence that you are.
