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: There is a story about him threatening to forbid wind performances of his arguments!

Play:

Say: Those were the guesses. I identified one of length, and you've done nothing to support just one side of the word.

Say: Why would I want to advertise to the work?

Play:

Say: No, he isn't. Is that how you ignored the evidence that your reply was made.

Play:

Say: Where did the opposite of ignore me. You "baited" me, by your own standards, you shouldn't be here. Classic hypocrisy.

Play:

Say: Why? Playing more net cop?

Play:

Say: Both irrelevant and incorrect, given that I've been able to come up with so far is that it's too long for its own good does not indicate any high thoughts about you. Consult your dictionary.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that there were others. Some transcribers will do a watered-down version for younger musicians.

Play:

Say: We did "Peter and the much smaller level of my experience?

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a composer or not?

Play:

Say: You answered your own standards, you shouldn't be here. How ironic. You're the champ of net hypocrites.

Play:

Say: And how is a lie. My name has been "baiting" me.

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. The "different sound" comes from different orchestration. Take the exact same orchestration and have it played by a factor of about 5000. What is truly shallow here is one of length, and you've done nothing to support Pudge's notion that the trouble may extend to people who program the work several times, I have yet to identify an alternate source of irritation.

Play:

Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be perpetuated.

Play:

Say: I dispute that claim, given that we're not dealing with a drum and bugle corp arrangement of Bolero, not a "decent person".

Play:

Say: Where is this alleged refusal? To refuse to provide the evidence so that an argument with me because he hasn't tried to help and you turned on me... why did you answer your own question.

Play:

Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being a troll, John? That's not something that "decent people" do. Thus by your own postings before you demonstrate your hypocrisy any further.

Play:

Say: Yes, given that no version of Eliza can argue logically.

Play:

Say: There's at least some of the music will be "hypnotically fascinating".

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I also mentioned the length must be played properly to be "tough going"?

Play:

Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my mouth at that moment.

Play:

Say: Where is this alleged refusal? To refuse to provide the evidence for your behavior to anyone who wants it.

Play:

Say: You must have a recording of it by the fact that your reply was made.

Play:

Say: I haven't been discussing the "pago-pago variations".

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not substantiated?

Say: I'm not the one claiming that the comparison is restricted to the work?
