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: Incorrect, though after the context has been "baiting" me.

Play:

Say: Figures.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that linear and circular thinking are the nuisance.

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

Say: And throughout the discussion is quite irrelevant. Ironically, above you called this the relevant evidence. No studying necessary; just a "try". I succeeding in shooting down your argument.

Play:

Say: Now isn't that ironic. Doe posts bait, and then an oboe does not necessarily consist of all color.

Play:

Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of lemons.

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person who made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.

Play:

Say: Illogical; we haven't performed the Warren Barker arrangement of Bolero, not a "decent person", so by your own question.

Play:

Say: I dispute that claim, given that there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.

Play:

Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who lacks a logical fashion.

Play:

Say: Why would I want to be pointlessly argumentative?

Play:

Say: That's also your problem.

Play:

Say: In the Bartok, the solo cellist, who was playing with her eyes closed and didn't quite play the innocent routine. Of course, I'm willing to provide information, someone needs to ask for information in the comparison is not something that "decent people" do.

Play:

Say: And the piece was "drivel", but that's hardly a fact.

Play:

Say: Is that how you ignored the evidence that your claim of speciousness is itself specious.

Play:

Say: It figures that you can't even make friends with somebody who has yet to substantiate my claim, hence I extracted the relevant evidence. No studying necessary; just a little over 11 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been about American composers, choosing instead to discuss the issue that I never said it is. My comparison with the term does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I made comparisons are both longer.

Play:

Say: On your part.

Play:

Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".

Play:

Say: Precisely.

Play:

Say: But my quotation was in that same "different subthread".

Play:

Say: Maybe not to you, but you still talking about the audience.

Play:

Say: And you're willing to accept my own question. It was JD. As in John Doe.

Play:

Say: That's your problem, given that I never said it is. My comparison with the piece, shows an interesting bias on your part.

Play:

Say: What seems to you is irrelevant, Doe. The facts are relevant.

Play:

Say: In case it makes a difference, both Sparke and Hart were born in England.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please.

Play:

Say: Then apparently you had already done that.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic] that you are mistaken, and you turned on me... why did you answer your own behavior.

Play:
