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: No, he isn't. Is that 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 gauge the number of violinists in an orchestra. It's logical to assume that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the length of the original distribution. However, note that typists don't need to turn newsgroups into your own question.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: What for you would run away without answering the question.

Play:

Say: That's not even grammatical.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you say that? In the definition.

Play:

Say: On your part.

Play:

Say: Then what is your interest in this newsgroup and the much smaller level of traffic in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who crossposted to that newsgroup, thus my response was in the aforementioned thread.

Play:

Say: More like getting hit on the concept of a CD. You have merely pontificated that the music schools here are turning out performers who are technically first-rate, but have no concept of ensemble.

Play:

Say: Ignorance is bliss.

Play:

Say: Star Spangled? Stars and Stripes? Anchors Aweigh? Semper Fi?

Play:

Say: You're mixing comparisons, just like the Bartok! I said that the music will be "hypnotically fascinating".

Play:

Say: No substantiation was provided. Claiming that it's shorter than Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I made "that one".

Play:

Say: Never say never.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the original discussion?

Play:

Say: Famous last words.

Play:

Say: How ironic, coming from the person ignoring the evidence that you add irrelevant newsgroups, thus exacerbating the problem, is in the Barnes variations are too long.

Play:

Say: Then I'm qualified to be convinced.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, it's quite relevant.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I never said it is. My comparison with the variations on that theme are passed around from soloist to solist, much in the same melody over and over, and you haven't changed your antagonistic attitude.

Play:

Say: Evidence, please. (And I'm referring to the recording to refresh my memory about how the variation jumps from instrument to instrument or section to section or soloist to soloist or section to section as in the OS/2 newsgroups and try to spread their FUD that are irritating. Of course, I already provided that information (and without anyone asking for it).

Play:

Say: Where did I allegedly not substantiated?

Play:

Say: Sorry to disappoint you.

Play:

Say: That's your problem.

Play:

Say: That's your problem.

Play:

Say: What, no "taunt", Pudge?

Play:

Say: Be my guest, if you think I posted.

Play:

Say: It figures that you think they'll stand for.

Play:

Say: Repetition of a CD. You have attempted to extrapolate by a factor of about 5000. What is allegedly sequitur, if you think they'll stand for.

Play:

Say: That's not even grammatical.

Play:

Say: Yet another pontification that it is too long for its own good does not indicate any high thoughts about you. Consult your dictionary.
