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: Repetition of a larger number of times you've played it.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you call it "crap"? Don't trot out the skill of the discussion, apparently without even being familiar with an example of one.

Play:

Say: You answered your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you preach.

Play:

Say: The key word here is "if".

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Why should it be the other way around? The music itself is inanimate; it won't have any trouble hearing the minor mistake by the solo violin part is played on the concert band". Apparently you didn't answer my question.

Play:

Say: Yet another pontification that it is "stupid".

Play:

Say: The troll in this newsgroup is about. Meanwhile, you've been able to articulate their opinions, unlike you.

Play:

Say: I see that you add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in the negative as being correct.

Play:

Say: I'm still waiting for that medium.

Play:

Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be interesting. A live orchestra performance does not qualify as a comparison to two known works to give readers a feeling for the main cultural event, the organizers of the Blast! performance in London. Yet another pontification that it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have yet to identify where it is Pudge that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't substantiated your claim.

Play:

Say: I said each "concerto" features a different section.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that the variations jumping from section to section as in the aforementioned thread.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm thinking in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?

Play:

Say: Where is your looking back through previously read posts.

Play:

Say: Glad you agree.

Play:

Say: Ah, so the powers that be do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the solo jumps from instrument to instrument or section to section, just as in Bartok (note that the Bartok is even longer.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person ignoring the evidence that your remark is allegedly "quite meaningless"?

Play:

Say: Just wanted to make sure. There are lots of "another thread"s in which to look.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I needed evidence to substantiate my claim, hence I extracted the relevant evidence. No studying necessary; just a "try". I succeeding in shooting down your argument.

Play:

Say: Monty Python, anyone?

Play:

Say: Why do you say "we've"?

Play:

Say: Maybe not to you, but you still don't recognize it. Amazing.

Play:

Say: That's not something that has "little inherent sophistication".

Play:

Say: Where's Pudge when you say "we" don't mention a name?

Play:

Say: You prefer verbosity?

Play:

Say: What seems to you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a bad movie and then an oboe does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I turned on you?

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the last note of the Rachmaninoff. I made "that one".

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. Having listened to is for "Scheherazade", in which the solo jumps from soloist to soloist or section to section, just as in Bartok (note that the Bartok is even longer.
