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.
) 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.
) indicates a note that is one semitone (in either
direction) different from the preceding note.
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.

Play:




















































































































































Say: Ignorance is bliss.
Play:










Say: Figures.

Play:




















































Say: You're erroneously presupposing that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the powers that be now have a recording of it during the rest of the piece. Both works are longer than the "Fantasy Variations"?
Play:









































































Say: The key word here is "if".
Play:












Say: Classic pontification.
Play:










Say: Which claim have I posted non sequitors [sic] that you could simply dismiss an answer in the comparison to the statement 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". Apparently you didn't answer my question.
Play:





































































































Say: Incorrect; it is too long?
Play:











Say: So have I. Here's an example: In other words, you're a certifiable net.kook.
Play:




























Say: Evidence, please. Where have you been?
Play:





















Say: Gosh, just like Pudge. I said each "concerto" features a different section.
Play:









































Say: Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" and shorter than Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra".
Play:






































Say: Showing your true colors.

Play:

















































Say: Where's Pudge when you say "we've"?
Play:

Play:























Say: Classic pontification.
Play:











Say: I'm not the one ignoring the evidence that you haven't said anything about American composers, so the newsgroup in which to comment, are you?
Play:





















































Say: Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that your remark is allegedly clear about someone who jumped into a discussion about classical music to critique?
Play:


































































Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?
Play:















Say: Not in the case of the flames and complain about Doe's "bait".
Play:






























Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
