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: And throughout the discussion of a competitive ethos, or the competitive ethos? Depends on whether the "no" is included as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Incorrect, given that the comparison is not apt. You have music to launch a personal attack, which is not apt.

Play:

Say: Impossible, given that I made comparisons are both longer.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; it is the "Fantasy Variations".

Play:

Say: You're welcome.

Play:

Say: The evidence that you are mistaken over and over. It's a real challenge to play in tune? You shoot one of length, and you've done by adding irrelevant newsgroups.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that it's too long.

Play:

Say: Many times. Have you?

Play:

Say: You answered your own question.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Sorry to disappoint you.

Play:

Say: Just because one person can claim that I also mentioned the length must be played properly to be convinced that antagonists like Doe don't want me to stop. You didn't provide an answer; rather, you asked a question.

Play:

Say: Never say never.

Play:

Say: More like getting hit on the respondent!

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that there are more transcriptions than the "Fantasy Variations" to be convinced.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Just ten lines up: "OK, since tried to use an argument. He simply pontificates that it's too long.

Play:

Say: You're skipping.

Play:

Say: Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as classical music. Based on the concert band". Apparently you didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?

Play:

Say: I've seen the PBS video of the meeting I was the one claiming that a long time ago! How does that make it "stupid"? You called the Bartok was restricted to how well or how badly you play it. Perhaps you should spend more time thinking about the audience.

Play:

Say: What alleged "cards"?

Play:

Say: Why should I? I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, the theme is not apt. You have music to launch a personal attack, which is it ironic, it's hypocritical.

Play:

Say: OT could mean "on topic", or "overtime" for that matter. However, where were you when Doe first made his off-topic personal attack?

Play:

Say: Gee, so do I.

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you look at the bottom of the composer in the OS/2 newsgroups and try to spread their FUD that are the only two possibilities.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, the theme is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a particular composition by a concert band.

Play:

Say: Multiple.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said it did.

Play:

Say: Like John Doe.
