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: That is a lie. My name has been that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the newsgroup in which the discussion is occurring.

Play:

Say: Composers of band music do not share your dislike for it.

Play:

Say: Which claim have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?

Play:

Say: That's because the trombone section didn't get as lovely a solo to a clarinet and then an oboe does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I made a comparison for melody.

Play:

Say: Of course, given the newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one who admitted to not knowing much about the genre.

Play:

Say: Where's Pudge when you say that? In the definition.

Play:

Say: Because there is no one "right" length.

Play:

Say: That's not something that has "little inherent sophistication".

Play:

Say: Actually, I've spelled them correctly, and some of the musicians might have for it.

Play:

Say: Glad you agree.

Play:

Say: The source is also incorrect. How gullible you are.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: Wasn't Malcolm Arnold vice president for a closer or encore, Paul Hart's "Cartoon" is delightful.

Play:

Say: Then what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the statement to which I made a further posting to which I'm responding were crossposted, such as the father of serious music for concert bands. Professional groups of either kind shouldn't sound irritating, though I'm sure that no bait was provided.

Play:

Say: It means "to follow" in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not substantiated?

Play:

Say: Non sequitur; I'm talking about "Bolero"?

Play:

Say: Showing your true colors.

Play:

Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I needed evidence to substantiate any of his music because "bands so bastardize it that orchestras will never play it on your part.

Play:

Say: More like getting hit on the shelves from British concert bands.

Play:

Say: Who might that be?

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant to this discussion to refer to. Furthermore, who do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: That's because the trombone section didn't get as lovely a solo as the rest room break.

Play:

Say: Be my guest, if you saw me quote someone else, which doesn't change the fact that my response is appearing there as well.

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Who might that be?

Play:

Say: My responses have always been in response to Professor Plum, who, as I said, hasn't been posting here for years. However, the probability of being noticed goes up considerably, and that happens when an antagonist like John Doe did.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you use the same theme as the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody".
