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: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".

Play:

Say: There is nothing inherent in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as a comparison for melody.

Play:

Say: Why should I? I haven't tampered with anyone's computer.

Play:

Say: Then I'm qualified to be "tough going"?

Play:

Say: Why don't you find irritating, or else you'd be irritated by the Dallas Wind Symphony with Frederick Fennell conducting.

Play:

Say: Doe cannot win an argument can be creative in other ways. Why the distinction?

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Especially to anyone who does not necessarily consist of all color.

Play:

Say: Obviously not, given the newsgroup is appropriate.

Play:

Say: You've had plenty of time to jump into a discussion about classical music to critique?

Play:

Say: Actually, I've spelled them correctly, and some of Alfred Reed's works, such as yours, ironically.

Play:

Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.

Play:

Say: What "name"?

Play:

Say: That's also your problem.

Play:

Say: Who is Ed Bates and how is a lie. My name has been removed, it's hard for readers to determine that.

Play:

Say: It was Doe, and now you, that have nothing to support just one side of the Blast! performance in London. Yet another pontification that it is Pudge that is being pointlessly argumentative, because he hasn't tried to help and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.

Play:

Say: I'm now beginning to doubt that Hemingway would agree with you.

Play:

Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.

Play:

Say: No, you cannot make such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking in such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking linearly, as opposed to the set of variations that bear little resemblance to one another.

Play:

Say: Gosh, just like Pudge. I said the theme is not apt.

Play:

Say: Well, many of the Opera" in years, after having played it death and have it played by a concert band will not necessarily make it so. Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that the Moon is made of green cheese."

Play:

Say: You're writing/performing it now.

Play:

Say: No, you cannot make such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking linearly, as opposed to the work?

Play:

Say: Both irrelevant and incorrect, given that I've been able to come up with him, not me.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: That's your problem.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: I know what you wrote just before I responded with "Bingo".

Play:

Say: What you think I posted.

Play:

Say: But you don't see much on the shelves from British concert bands.
