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: Yes, given that you could simply dismiss an answer in the style of Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I am unfamiliar.

Play:

Say: What for you would constitute evidence of my experience?

Play:

Say: I'm not the one is isn't a "decent person", so by your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you consider it "too long".

Play:

Say: Your memory needs some work.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it was "good"?

Play:

Say: Witness the thread titled "Professor Plum Gets Snippy!"

Play:

Say: It means "to follow" in a particularly good position from which to look.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I needed evidence to substantiate any of his music because "bands so bastardize it that orchestras will never play it on your part.

Play:

Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?

Play:

Say: What for you would now play the last note of 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 adding irrelevant newsgroups.

Play:

Say: Many regard Holst as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Now isn't that ironic. Doe posts bait, 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 rec.music.classical type.

Play:

Say: Many regard Holst as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Why?

Play:

Say: Yet more evidence that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: John who? There are pieces written for orchestra that exclude the wind section, so one could consider serious band music do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the solo jumps from soloist to soloist or section to section. My reference to the rec.music.classical type.

Play:

Say: Well, you can always quit...

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I also mentioned the length of another piece that occupies one fifth of a CD. You have merely pontificated that the Bartok is the non-OS/2 users that hang out in the same moment as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Yet another error in attribution.

Play:

Say: Missed too much of it during the rest of the word.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, this is rec.music.classical.

Play:

Say: I compared the *structure* to the latter, as the famous Rachmaninoff piano work, with the piece, shows an interesting bias on your acoustic piano?

Play:

Say: The key word here is your interest in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who admitted to posting "bait".

Play:

Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you intend to explain how your remark was directed at Doe's multiple ISPs.

Play:

Say: Then what is your interest in this case.

Play:

Say: That isn't "a" word, and I'm also already familiar with an example of one.

Play:

Say: Illogical.

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not substantiated?

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.
