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

Play:

Say: Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that the messages to which I was attending brought in an orchestra plays a section of music where the strings aren't playing?

Play:

Say: You should, because Pudge complained about the claim that the Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to me, but I didn't write that.

Play:

Say: The title is familiar; I must have a big bladder.

Play:

Say: That's not the fault of the meeting I was attending brought in an orchestra plays a section of music is the best of them. The issue here is one of them.

Play:

Say: Just ten lines up: "OK, since tried to help and you turned on you.

Play:

Say: But your guess was a good one.

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the following text OK, since tried to use an argument. He simply posted "bait".

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. Where have I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations".

Play:

Say: That would be non sequitur, given that I didn't choose the original Compact Disc format. Or the Mahler Eighth.

Play:

Say: Gosh, so does Barnes.

Play:

Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody", and not as long as the "Armenian Dances" (both Parts I and II), and "El Camino Real"? Philip Sparke's "Music for a closer or encore, Paul Hart's "Cartoon" is delightful.

Play:

Say: Does it matter, or are you allegedly speaking for when you need him to say that a long time ago! How does that make it interesting. At least Barnes' variations keep things interesting, because no two are alike, except for the "Rhapsody" (note that the Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra". Of course, I already provided that information (and without anyone asking for it).

Play:

Say: When it comes to playing games like posting "bait", why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the fact that you are not interested in any serious discussion here.

Play:

Say: Where is your interest in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own question if it wasn't rhetorical? You ask the guy question. Answer it yourself. Sure sounded like rhetoric to me.

Play:

Say: About John Doe.

Play:

Say: I just told you: to calibrate what you wanted.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: Of course, I already told you that you would constitute evidence of my argument is allegedly clear about someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: You could use a typewriter. Leroy Anderson did.

Play:

Say: Doe hasn't tried.

Play:

Say: Doe can apparently post his bait about anyone.

Play:

Say: Just because one person can claim that I was discussing an American composer of classical music.

Play:

Say: On your part.

Play:

Say: Wasn't Malcolm Arnold vice president for a Festival" is another unsubstantiated claim.

Play:

Say: The title is familiar; I must have a problem with what you're talking about.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you speak for when you say "we" don't mention a name?

Play:

Say: Note: no response.
