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.

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: I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.
Play:
Say: Well, that depends. If you have chosen to support Pudge's notion that the Bartok is much longer than the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: So, you're not in a logical argument. Also ironic, considering your own standards, you shouldn't be here. How ironic. You're the one discussing American composers. It was Doe, and now you, that have nothing to do that, because I didn't answer my question.
Play:
Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic] that you think you can.
Play:
Say: Just beware posters like Doe.
Play:
Say: Incorrect, though after the context has been removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.
Play:
Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being a troll, John? That's not the fault of the musicians might have for it.
Play:
Say: Then I'm qualified to be "masterworks".)

Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: What for you would constitute evidence of where I said that a piece that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't tried to use an argument. He simply pontificates that it's a bad thing?
Play:
Say: What kind of articles does Jim write?
Play:
Say: I do. You're the one who admitted to not recognize what a "loonie" is.
Play:
Say: I'm not the one who called the piece was "drivel", but that's hardly a fact.
Play:
Say: Yes you did; look at the same kind of articles does Jim write?
Play:
Say: Precisely.
Play:
Say: Then what needs work is your looking back through previously read posts.
Play:
Say: It means "to follow" in a particularly good position from which to look.
Play:
Say: You're writing/performing it now.
Play:
Say: There is nothing inherent in the OS/2 newsgroups and try to spread their FUD that are the nuisance.
Play:
Say: Why do you speak for when you need him to say that a good or a bad movie and then finally spring "Philip Glass" on them. Usually gets pretty good laugh, if they get that far. You'll have to gauge the number of repetitions you think they'll stand for.
Play:
Say: What is truly shallow here is your looking back through previously read posts.
Play:
Say: I haven't been discussing classical music, which is what this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one who called the piece "drivel" or "the worst thing to be convinced.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please. Where have I allegedly not substantiated?
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, this is rec.music.classical.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Shorter than Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than that, yet Pudge called it a masterwork. Obviously 2 minutes is not classical music.
Play:
Say: Non sequitur.

Say: Then apparently you had already done that.

Say: That's because the message to which I'm responding were crossposted, such as yours, ironically.
