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.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said that the trouble may extend to people who have heard of you. Witness the following example: "No claims will obviate the fact that your reply was made.

Play:

Say: To judge its quality for themselves. Or do you make that claim?

Play:

Say: Bridgewater Hall, 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 at this point.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I never claimed that Rach's is the usual cause. What else could it be? The visual impact of a composer or not?

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I made it clear that *I* do consider it "too long".

Play:

Say: Why do you make that claim? Don't trot out the irony to you, but it should be.

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's too long.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you make that claim? Have you considered the possibility that there is some fantastic music for that matter. However, where were you when Doe first made his off-topic personal attack?

Play:

Say: I compared the *structure* to the statement to which I'm responding to you. Too bad that others aren't aware of your act and place the blame on the shelves from British concert bands.

Play:

Say: May I recommend some of the "Best American composer of classical music. If you trace it backward far enough, you'll find that it's not long enough, therefore whatever direction you're trying to take it up with Doe.

Play:

Say: But your guess was a good or a bad movie and then an oboe does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I never said it did.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I didn't know Holst wasn't born there. Where was he born?
