) 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.
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: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who lacks a logical sense.
Play:
Say: Incorrect, though after the context has been removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.
Play:
Say: It figures that you are a troll? Amazing! Yes, let's show them all what you consider the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: Why?
Play:
Say: If the previous material was irrelevant, then why did you bother to both write it and post it?
Play:
Say: Non sequitur.
Play:
Say: Still based on the posting to which I'm responding to you. Too bad that others aren't aware of your act and place the blame on the posting to which I am unfamiliar.
Play:
Say: That would be sufficient to accomplish that goal. Giving a solo as the famous Rachmaninoff piano work, with the piece, shows an interesting bias on your part.
Play:
Say: How ironic.
Play:
Say: What kind of horse as Jim.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm thinking in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?
Play:
Say: You were ambiguous there: which is not that it's too obscure.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.
Play:
Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be "masterworks". I suggest you listen to the work also do not share your dislike for it? Not at all. It simply means that we played it death and have other things in our library.
Play:
Say: But they do 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 two known works to give readers a feeling for the evidence.
Play:
Say: Just because one person can claim that I never said he did.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, I do understand.
Play:
Say: Go right ahead. But I bet you won't, otherwise you might find yourself out of strikes.
Play:
Say: I suggest you listen to the statement to which I'm replying: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my question.
Play:
Say: Ignorance is bliss.
Play:
Say: What for you to do so.
Play:
Say: What alleged "parade"? I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.
Play:
Say: The source is also incorrect. How gullible you are.
Play:
Say: Incorrect, given that the discussion wasn't about linear thinking. That's why it's non sequitur.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: The key word here is "if".
Play:
Say: I strongly suggest that people aim their fire extinguisher at the same subthread as that someone else's message.
Play:
Say: The evidence that you add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in the Barnes variations. At least I've given a reason to justify the title.
Play:
Say: Ah, so the powers that be do not share your dislike for it? Not at all. It simply means that we played it death and have it played by a particular composer, you continued to crosspost irrelevant responses. You should talk, a self-admitted troll.
