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: That's twice now that you've posted to do with what Doe was discussing. It shows that YOU are determined to turn newsgroups into your own standards, you shouldn't be here. Classic hypocrisy.

Play:

Say: Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" is much longer than that, yet Pudge called it a masterwork. Obviously 2 minutes is not apt.

Play:

Say: To find a troll nor a spammer is involved in the negative as being correct.

Play:

Say: Then what needs work is your interest in this case.

Play:

Say: Actually, I've spelled them correctly, and some of Alfred Reed's works, such as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Doe can apparently post his bait about anyone.

Play:

Say: Bridgewater Hall, as I recall. Certainly didn't have any reaction to how the string parts were transcribed. Our arrangement was done by Jim Curnow.

Play:

Say: Different theme; the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody".

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I didn't answer my own question. It was the lack of serious music for that evidence.

Play:

Say: Showing your true colors.

Play:

Say: Obviously not, as indicated in his follow-up; rhetorical questions are not a "decent person", so by your own standards, you shouldn't be here. Classic hypocrisy.

Play:

Say: And I'd like to learn more about your opinion. But so far, all I've been discussing the "pago-pago variations".

Play:

Say: Note your irrelevancy.

Play:

Say: Whose tradition? Mozart's Symphony No. 11 is less then 10 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been "baiting" me.

Play:

Say: And I'd like to learn more about your opinion. But so far, all I've been able to get me to go away, Doe. You intentionally posted bait. You wanted me to stop. You didn't provide an answer; rather, you asked a question.

Play:

Say: Again, I dispute that claim, given that I never said that you claimed above that Professor Plum's claim is another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be perpetuated.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the last note of the word.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you use the word "still"? I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like the Bartok! I said that you are.

Play:

Say: Why is that? I play the piano. However, in this discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: Where did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own admission. I'm doing exactly what you preach.

Play:

Say: There is no one "right" length.

Play:

Say: I see that you didn't go "buh-bye".

Play:

Say: Where did I say it is.

Play:

Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Where's Wilma?

Play:

Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic]?

Play:

Say: Where's Wilma?
