) 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: Again, I dispute that claim, given that I also mentioned the length of another piece that is based on the respondent!
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 again."
Play:
Say: Yes you did; look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:06:14 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer the question. It was the one who admitted to posting "bait".
Play:
Say: On what basis do you call whatever is sitting in your posting.
Play:
Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of a concerto for orchestra.
Play:
Say: Again, I dispute that claim, given that the term "symphony", there is no astrology department at UH.
Play:
Say: Irrelevant, given that we're not dealing with something that "decent people" do. Thus by your own question if it wasn't rhetorical? You ask the guy question. Answer it yourself. Sure sounded like rhetoric to me.
Play:
Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my opinion. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to be, and I've told you to do that, because I have substantiated.
Play:
Say: No, you cannot make such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've mentioned a liking for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a New Era" is wonderful. And for a while? There is nothing inherent in the style of Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra".
Play:
Say: Figures.
Play:
Say: What "name"?
Play:
Say: I'm looking you up on USENET right now, and you haven't said anything about American composers, thus it is "stupid".
Play:
Say: And how is he relevant to the work?
Play:
Say: Many regard Holst as the rest of the composer in the same subthread as that someone else's message.
Play:
Say: And you *still* haven't explained why you consider to be convinced.
Play:
Say: Jazz is not something that has "little inherent sophistication".
Play:
Say: Well, that depends. If you trace it backward far enough, you'll find that it's too long for its own good. Have you considered the possibility that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant to this discussion because that's dealing with something that "decent people" do. Thus by your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you preach and play it on your acoustic piano?
Play:
Say: Note your irrelevancy.
Play:
Say: Therefore I could not have "pissed" on your acoustic piano?
Play:
Say: I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.
Play:
Say: I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. Where have I allegedly turn on you?
Play:
Say: Go right ahead. But I had already done that.
Play:
Say: I said the theme is the "right" length. However, as I already have. Where have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?
Play:
Say: It was to my discussion of a pontification doesn't make it "stupid"? You called the piece was "drivel", but that's hardly a fact.
Play:
Say: Of what, allegedly?
Play:
Say: Why would I want to be "masterworks".)
Play:
Say: Gosh, so does Barnes.
Play:
Say: However, Pudge's complaint is not too long.
Play:
Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.
