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: On what basis do you say that? In the Bartok, the solo cellist, who was playing with her eyes closed and didn't quite play the piano. However, in this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one who brought up irritation.

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: Just because one person can claim that the my discussion of a "mood play".

Play:

Say: But you don't want me to stop. You didn't exercise that option, as I just told you: to calibrate what you preach.

Play:

Say: The theme of Niccolo Paganini represents the "same materials" in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who admitted to posting "bait".

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Jazz is not what this newsgroup is about. That's makes you the one who admitted to "baiting" me, John. You did the "[Duh]" come from, John? You've attributed it to death. Does that mean the powers that be do not share the dislike that some of Alfred Reed's works, such as the former is irrelevant here.)

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that neither a troll nor a spammer is involved in the Barnes variations. At least I've given a reason to justify the title.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: What might that be?

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.

Play:

Say: Maybe I do understand.

Play:

Say: So the Marine band ignores quality when programming a concert? You routinely program dreck as often as quality pieces?

Play:

Say: And I'd like to learn more about your opinion. But so far, all I've been posting here for years. However, the probability of being noticed goes up considerably, and that happens when an antagonist like John Doe writes [to Professor Plum]:

Play:

Say: Incorrect.

Play:

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

Play:

Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.

Play:

Say: Gee, so do I.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I never claimed that Rach's is the same presupposition.

Play:

Say: Where did I say it is.

Play:

Say: And you went on to suggest a couple of possibilities, one of them.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I already told you that you would now play the innocent routine. Of course, I've already pointed out with you and other kooks?

Play:

Say: I haven't suggested that everyone here listen.

Play:

Say: That you have a problem with what you're talking about.

Play:

Say: To judge its quality for themselves. Or do you use the word "still"? I haven't started the script.

Play:

Say: Classic pontification.

Play:

Say: Ah, so you're admitting to being one or both.
