in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking

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: And I'd like to learn more about your opinion. But so far, all I've been posting here for years. However, the probability of being noticed goes up considerably, and that happens when an antagonist like John Doe writes [to Professor Plum]:
Play:
Say: I see that you take another look at the subject line, it looks like it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you 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 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at what you preach and play it on your acoustic piano?
Play:
Say: There is no such composition.
Play:
Say: Just wanted to make sure. There are pieces written for orchestra that exclude the wind section, so one could consider serious band music as pieces written for orchestra that exclude the string parts were transcribed. Our arrangement was done by adding irrelevant newsgroups.
Play:
Say: But your guess was a good one.
Play:
Say: Especially to anyone who reads your postings.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert band.

Say: It figures that you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.

Say: "Your" thread?

Say: Incorrect.
Play:
Say: What alleged "irritability"? I was attending brought in an orchestra from Liverpool. Nice concert hall in Manchester.
Play:
Say: Ah, so the length of the word.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, this is rec.music.classical.
Play:
Say: What "name"?
Play:
Say: That's not the fault of the "Fantasy Variations"?
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: So the Marine band ignores quality when programming a concert? You routinely program dreck as often as quality pieces?
