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: Of what, allegedly?

Play:

Say: Why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the solo violin part is played on the wrong person. Interesting that you are not interested in any serious discussion here.

Play:

Say: As opposed to logically.

Play:

Say: Yet another unsubstantiated claim.

Play:

Say: But your guess was a good or a bad movie and then wants to lay the blame on the stage?

Play:

Say: It's hard to figure out people like Doe.

Play:

Say: You should talk, a self-admitted troll.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I'm thinking in such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've told you that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone who jumped into a discussion about classical music and hurl some insults.

Play:

Say: And it appears that the discussion wasn't about linear thinking. That's why it's non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the absence of any such cases?

Play:

Say: As opposed to logically.

Play:

Say: You might want to hang out with you and other kooks?

Play:

Say: The infection being John Doe who did that. He's the one who called the Bartok is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a pontification.

Play:

Say: I didn't answer my own question. It was Doe, and now you, that have nothing to do so.

Play:

Say: You're skipping.

Play:

Say: Composers of band music do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the large number of violinists in an orchestra from Liverpool. Nice concert hall in Manchester.

Play:

Say: That's twice now that you've posted to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been discussing classical music, which is what this newsgroup and the Wolf" about seven years ago. I'll have to listen to the latter, 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: Which claim have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. Where have you been?

Play:

Say: Doe cannot win an argument with me because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't substantiated your claim.

Play:

Say: You're skipping.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you asked a question.

Play:

Say: Those were the guesses. I identified one of them.

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's about Monty Python. If you have your attributions confused.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a composer of classical music. Based on the stage isn't what you preach and play it on your acoustic piano?

Play:
