And the other question is, what, if any, is the algorithm to convert sheet music as above into monosyllabic ASCII, so that it can be uttered?
Moscow Mule provided a brave rendition here, but how faithful is this to the tune and can it be improved upon? Preferably using only ner, neer, nerrr, etc. -
As a veteran of grade 8 piano, I went for the WTF! option. Partly because I didn't know the tune in question and partly because that's a godawful transcription. A#'s for heaven's sake.Comment

I played the clarinet in the school orchestra so I could read music when I was a kid. I can't do it now!...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
