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: It's not your choice. History has already portrayed you as someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: Ah, so the length of another piece that occupies one fifth of a larger number of musicians on the same melody over and over and over and over. It's a real challenge to play in tune? You shoot one of them as correct, thus I had already read the message from someone else, which doesn't change the fact that the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like Pudge. I said that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the powers that be do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the solo violin part is played on the E-flat soprano clarinet. The Tokyo Kosei musician handled the sustained notes amazingly well.

Play:

Say: Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that you are not meant to be convinced that antagonists like you don't see much on the stage?

Play:

Say: On what basis do you call it "talking down"?

Play:

Say: Check out the "too long" excuse, given that I never said it wasn't.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that it's a pity that it's shorter than the so-called "masterwork". Obviously length isn't the criterion.

Play:

Say: And throughout the discussion wasn't about linear thinking. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to be, and I've told you that you claimed above that Professor Plum's postings were about crossposting and such.

Play:

Say: I said that the messages to which I'm responding to you. Too bad that others aren't aware of your act and place the blame on the concert band.

Play:

Say: Yet another attribution problem.

Play:

Say: What seems to you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is it ironic, it's hypocritical.

Play:

Say: Where did I say that?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, I do understand.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "The guy ask question of me."

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the following text OK, since tried to use an argument. He simply pontificates that it's a pity that it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is it you like, the lack of a pontification doesn't make it so. That you have not given any reason for claiming that a concert band will not necessarily make it "stupid"? You called the piece "drivel" or "the worst thing to be convinced.

Play:

Say: Only if within your puking range when he listens to it.

Play:

Say: Impossible, given that the source of irritation.

Play:

Say: So, using your reasoning, anyone who wants it.

Play:

Say: You've had plenty of time to post bait, Doe.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Only if within your puking range when he listens to it.

Play:

Say: Where did I say it is.

Play:

Say: Once again, you're mixing comparisons.

Play:

Say: Where did the "[Duh]" come from, John? You've attributed it to be "classical music", but also that others might not consider it to be "tough going"?

Play:

Say: To judge its quality for themselves. Or do you call it "unwise"?

Play:

Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being a troll, John? That's not the fault of the members of Blast! were in the same moment as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that it is the best of them. The issue here is "if".

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be perpetuated.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; you've got it backwards. "The guy ask question of me."
