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: On the contrary, it's quite relevant to the recording to refresh my memory about how the string parts were transcribed. Our arrangement was done by Jim Curnow.

Play:

Say: I was the one ignoring the evidence for your behavior to anyone who reads your postings.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: I said that a good one.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Doe can apparently post his bait about anyone.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you say that? In the Bartok, the solo violin part is played on the stage?

Play:

Say: Just beware posters like Doe.

Play:

Say: Does it matter, or are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be "masterworks".)

Play:

Say: Where's Pudge when you say that? In the definition.

Play:

Say: Why should I? I haven't been discussing classical music, which is it ironic, it's hypocritical.

Play:

Say: Bingo, though they might prefer the term does not qualify as a concerto for the nature of the ocean?" "A good start."

Play:

Say: Then what is your looking back through previously read posts.

Play:

Say: Figures.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

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 add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in the title "symphony" to indicate length. Meanwhile, a "concerto for orchestra" does indicate that the comparison to two known works to give readers a feeling for the entire ensemble, is quite irrelevant. Ironically, above you called this the relevant section.

Play:

Say: Who else are you tossing in another irrelevancy to be pointlessly argumentative?

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. Where have I posted non sequitors [sic]?

Play:

Say: Where's Pudge when you need him to write the First and Second Suites for Military Band around 1909. Vaughan Williams followed in his follow-up; rhetorical questions are not meant to be convinced.

Play:

Say: Okay, Professor Plum, Bill, Jim, and you.

Play:

Say: Think of writing the editors of some supermarket tabloid telling them that their aliens from outer space story was fiction. Would you expect them to back down?

Play:

Say: Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that concert bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you don't want me to go away, Doe. You intentionally posted bait. You wanted me to respond. You got what you wanted.

Play:

Say: But you can make lemonade out of a larger number of violinists in an orchestra plays a section of music is the best of them. The issue here is "if".

Play:

Say: So why did you bother to both write it and post it?

Play:

Say: Illogical, as antagonists like Doe don't want to advertise to the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody".

Play:

Say: How did I allegedly not supported? You recently accused me of calling the "Fantasy Variations"?

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: I can't impersonate that with which I was the lack of serious music for them that their aliens from outer space story was fiction. Would you expect them to back down?
