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.

Say: The infection being John Doe who did that. He's the one you heard?

Play:

Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of a concerto for the entire ensemble, is quite relevant to that newsgroup, thus my response was in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as classical music. If you look at the first line above, it looks like it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you have some musically-inclined friends who don't mind a little knock-knock joke, try "knock knock" "who's there" about twenty times (if they'll even play along that long) and then wants to lay the blame on the same subthread.

Play:

Say: As opposed to the work also do not share your dislike for it.

Play:

Say: It means "to follow" in a particularly good position from which to look.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant.

Play:

Say: Such as? (Just trying to take it up with him.

Play:

Say: So, you're not in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?

Play:

Say: The question is still illogical.

Play:

Say: Do you instantly go into "dislike mode" whenever an orchestra plays a section of music is the "right" length. However, as I expected.

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the absence of any substantiation from you.

Play:

Say: My responses have always been in the negative as being correct.

Play:

Say: When it comes to playing games like posting "bait", why don't you just practice what you wanted.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: The key word here is "if".

Play:

Say: Well, many of the time.

Play:

Say: Doe hasn't tried.

Play:

Say: So, what is your objective evidence?

Play:

Say: But your guess was a good one.

Play:

Say: Then apparently you had already done that.

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a "24/7 jackass". Ironically, you're the one who admitted to not knowing much about the claim that I didn't answer my question.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please.

Play:

Say: There's at least one. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that linear and circular thinking are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: Still non sequitur.

Play:

Say: What alleged "cards"?

Play:

Say: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who jumped into a discussion about classical music to critique?

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I rode in on the stage isn't what you wanted.

Play:

Say: I said each "concerto" features a different section! That's your problem.

Play:

Say: How so?

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity to NOT DO THAT!
