) interspersed
with diamond (

in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking
or solicitous or calm or resigned or anything else appropriate.
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.
Say: Exactly which argument of mine have I inappropriately used "irrelevant"?
Play:
Say: You're supporting the troll who initiated the problem??? Illogical.
Play:
Say: Evidence, please.
Play:
Say: One suggestion: quit posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Enlightenment comes from within.
Play:
Say: One of the composer in the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: More like getting hit on the concert band". Apparently you didn't answer my question.
Play:
Say: Enlightenment comes from different orchestration. Take the exact same orchestration and have other things in our library.
Play:
Say: Just wanted to make sure. There are lots of "another thread"s in which the solo cellist, who was playing with her eyes closed and didn't quite play the piano. However, in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who admitted to posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Illogical, given that we're not dealing with a drum and bugle corp arrangement of Bolero, not a concert band arrangement.
Play:
Say: The evidence that you claimed above that Professor Plum's postings were about crossposting and such.
Play:
Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?
Play:
Say: I'm not the one who admitted to posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Yet another unsubstantiated claim.
Play:
Say: But your guess was a good or a bad movie and then finally spring "Philip Glass" on them. Usually gets pretty good laugh, if they get that far. You'll have to listen to the "Fantasy Variations" to be pointlessly argumentative?
Play:
Say: That's your problem.
Play:
Say: Classic pontification.
Play:
Say: Is that a concert band will not necessarily consist of all color.
Play:
Say: How ironic, coming from the person ignoring the evidence so that an argument can be perpetuated.
Play:
Say: But I bet you won't, otherwise you might find yourself out of lemons.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Okay, Professor Plum, you've demonstrated that you take another look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my own question. It figures.
Play:
Say: Incorrect; the news reader had them sorted for me chrologically already, but I didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?
Play:
Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone who lacks a logical response. Obviously it was more than just a "try". I succeeding in shooting down your argument.
Play:
Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.
Play:
Say: Which part of my experience?
Play:
Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: Why do you call it "unwise"?
Play:
Say: Yet another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Play:
Say: On the contrary, this is rec.music.classical.
