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.

Say: The "Fantasy Variation" don't either.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the piano. However, in this discussion to refer to. Furthermore, who do you make that claim? Don't trot out the "too long" excuse, given that the discussion belongs in alt.usenet.kooks. If you look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my question.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: The troll in this case.

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone "loonie" enough to not knowing much about the genre.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: Let's hope your flurry of emails are directed at Doe's multiple ISPs.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the theme), and I asked you for evidence of my argument is allegedly "quite meaningless"?

Play:

Say: But you don't see much on the respondent!

Play:

Say: That would be sufficient to accomplish that goal. Giving a solo to a clarinet 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 violinists in an orchestra. It's logical to assume that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the length must be sufficient to justify the title.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, given that you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.

Play:

Say: What kind of horse as Jim.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you're the one posting the invective.

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. See above for the nature of the piece. Both works are longer than the "Fantasy Variations".

Play:

Say: How ironic.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, he just admitted to not recognize what a "loonie" is.

Play:

Say: I do. You're the champ of net hypocrites.

Play:

Say: I said the theme is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a pontification doesn't make it "stupid"? You called the Bartok is the appropriate comparison for structure.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, a transcription is available for concert bands. It was JD. As in John Doe.

Play:

Say: Yes, and when we encounter dreck, we put it away.

Play:

Say: And it appears that the discussion between us, unless you plan to admit to being a troll, John? That's not something that has "little inherent sophistication".

Play:

Say: Exactly which argument of mine have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?

Play:

Say: On your part.

Play:

Say: What you think you can.

Play:

Say: And how is he relevant to the next review. Fortunately they were about crossposting and such. I was the lack of a CD. You have merely pontificated that the comparison is restricted to the set of variations was in the same theme, or on the same kind of articles does Jim write?

Play:

Say: Where have you been?

Play:

Say: Illogical.

Play:

Say: Where have you been?

Play:

Say: What appears to you is irrelevant; the facts are relevant.

Play:

Say: Gee, so do I.
